I recently noticed the ingredients list on a bottle of corona. It reads: water, malted barley, corn/rice, hops, antioxidant E300, densing agent E405. Interesting, though I imagine not that surprising. What other beers are out there with some of these extras? Also, can anyone can shed any light on what E405 is exactly?
It's actually the registered name for Propylene Glycol Alginate (PGA). PGA “improves the performance of the bubble, increases the bubble's adhesive ability and improves the beer's appearance”
