Corona Extra
Grupo Modelo S.A. de C.V.

A 12 ounce bottle from the clearance singles section in the cooler.
High clarity gold/straw color, minimal lacing from the bubbly head.
The body is fairly light, the grain/hops flavor are this beers redeeming qualities compared to most American adjunct lagers. Passed down from German brewmasters who brought some early brewing skills/ingredients to Mexico.
A go-to summer beer for many, one may I drink on a rare occasion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The ultimate pool beer. Clear, yellow color. Medium-sized, white head. Malt and grain in the aroma. Light, malty, watery, with very little taste. But it goes well when it is hot outside.

Ots not great. But it does the job on a nice sunny afternoon.

I feel the quality has dipped since they moved brewing to the uk

 

It looks like a beer. It smells ever so faintly like water that's a lightly carbonated approximation of a beer. It tastes like water. It feels like water. I would call it water, except for the fact that it looks like a beer.

So, my whole life I've called Corona [whatever suffix you add] dog pee. Honestly, it only tastes better than dog pee because it tastes like nothing. The only reason they push so hard that you drink it with a lime is because it has no taste.

I only thought of it today because I was looking for a different beer and right at the top of the list, in the top couple of rows, was Corona. My daughter asked me about it because she saw a commercial for it in a YouTube video we were watching and I said that's not beer, it's dog pee. I have never met anyone who drank Corona. My wife suggested we buy it at Walgreen's when our favorite beer was sold out, and I said no way, it's dog pee, we're going to another store.

I'm pretty sure the only way Corona is so widespread in advertising is because of people who just started drinking beer and it's appealing because it's not strong, honestly kind of like Budweiser was when I was a college kid. They make money and put it right back into advertising, never into making a better beer.

With the new generation of kids not touching alcohol, especially beer and wine, Corona might finally die out. Look for a bankruptcy buy out in a decade or so.

It's a beer not an experience.
