Beer review: Corona Extra (4.6% Mexico: Grupo Modelo)


The Corona Extra is a lager, more specifically a Pale Lager. It's brewed by Grupo Modelo, a large Mexican brewery founded in 1922. The company has 63% of the Mexican beer market and exports beer to most of the countries in the world. In 2013 the brewery merged with Anheuser-Busch InBev, the largest beer producer in the world with a total of 25% global market share. Talk about bulk quality...nevertheless, let's give it a go!

Taste: The Corona Extra is a light-bodied beer with a watery body and faint aromas of corn, malt and citrus. The beer finishes with a really faint citric hoppiness.

Overall, The Corona Extra is a beer connoisseur's nightmare. Taste-wise, it doesn't really offer anything. However, there's a time and a place for it: it belongs to the category of "when you want to pretend you're drinking beer but actually you're drinking lemonade water with a lime". Personally, I occasionally do enjoy these types of beers as a refreshment but when it comes to taste experiences, the Corona Extra doesn't deliver much.
