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

no pour - clear bottle. urine yellow. damn near heineken skunk on the nose. taste is quite skunky too. rather dull. corona extra can be tolerable with a lime but not even that could save this one. thin and highly carbonated mouthfeel. this one isn’t for me.

 

 

 

 

Yea, if your desperate.

Left in the can. Aroma is sweet corn. Tastes metallic, some fruity notes, malt. It’s not too too bad at first glance I had it rated 2.75 for taste but then an absolutely horrible aftertaste comes in and lingers. Mouthfeel is ok. Overall it just isn’t very good and for the price there are much better light options available

 

Pours out of the can a crystal clear golden-orange. Yields a finger of fizzy head that dissipates quickly. Smells like sweet corn and malts. Taste follows the nose. Not too much going on here. You like it or you don't. It's pretty basic.

The more beers I try, the more I realize that what people think are bad or what people think are great are blinded by their pretentious ideas of what they should be like. Taste, like everything personal is subjective, I try to rate and enjoy as objective and also subjective as I possibly can, no matter the style or my prefered tastes.

That said I do like me some light beers and I'm surprised it took me more than 500 different beers tried before I got to this one. This is beer 514 (actually more but some I couldn't find on here) and with that accumulated experience I will say this is a fine, if not, damn decent light beer. Blew my expectations away and I think I prefer it to the Extra or Premier.
I work 5-6 days a week, I like something quick and refreshing after a 10+ hour day, and this does it. Smooth drinkability with a light crisp feel to go down easy like others of this style, relaxing and enjoyable on a hot day. (or after a laborious shift). Nothing complicated or a lot to process, just a clean beer to drink.

Will it be my preferred beer of choice? No, I like to change it up every so often, but I think I will fit this into my normal rotation.

 

I really like Corona Extra and Premier, so I figured I would go for the light this time. That was where it all went wrong. I opened the first bottle after chilling it and it smelled like cigarettes. I got past it by giving the bottle a few more sniffs but the smell was not like the other Corona I have had. The taste was also very bitter and rough, not very smooth, not a good flavor compared to the others.

Pretty disappointed, hopefully it doesn't ruin extra and premier for me.

 

 

 

 

I've been waiting my whole life for this. It's the first time I've ever gotten a Corona Light when I asked for it. I've never even seen it at grocery stores. Although, to be fair, I've only looked once or twice--but god damn, this was at huge box stores with massive macro selections. To be perfectly honest, I was damn near certain this was a hoax that didn't actually exist. So it was to my utter surprise that our local dirt cheap Mexican restaurant not only listed it on their menu, but actually delivered it to the table as ordered. Thus was my ultimate bucket list whale slayed.

The overall experience is, as expected, light, ricey skunk. However, it was also surprisingly toasty. I typically find the lighter versions of macro lagers to be the lesser of its representations, but since I have only ever had "regular" Corona Extra up until now, I'm finding myself flummoxed that I'm not entirely sure that Light is the worse of the two. Bottle to bottle, I'd probably take this over Extra. Even the lightly fluffy medium body isn't impacted too terribly by the "lightening."

To wrap this up, the appearance within a lime wedged bottle--which itself I find slightly less attractive than Extra--is otherwise lightly chill-hazed piss yellow with, after a tilt, a relatively active but rapidly receding carbonation.

Don't worry, I removed the lime wedge and serviced the tip liberally prior to this exhaustive review.

Enjoy.

 

Had this at a friend's house since that was all that they had. It really was offensive but I drank it anyway. Wow. I thought regular Corona was drinkable when really thirsty but this Light version is just not worth it.

12 oz. can, best by 8/22
I spent twenty years drinking mostly Corona-Bud Light-Miller Lite, so the smell and flavor of this beer are very familiar. The game changer is canning. This is the first non-skunked Corona I can remember. So to start, the worst flaw is gone.
Clear gold with one finger fine white head. Spotty lacing, partial surface ring.
Corn, light floral, pale malt bready odors.
Not much flavor, light apple, corn, grass. It’s fine if that is what you are accustomed to.
Light hop zing, low carbonation , dry finish. Insubstantial, but no glaring flaws. Wet and alcoholic. Cheers!
