Corona Extra is a Mexican pale lager brewed by Grupo Modelo, created in 1925 by German immigrant brewer Adolf H. Schmedtje blending German and Mexican lager traditions. Corn is used alongside malted barley, which lightens the body and gives the beer its characteristically crisp, dry finish. It’s traditionally served with a wedge of lime pushed into the neck of the bottle, and suits straightforward, easy drinking over complexity.
CHARACTER

TASTING NOTES

PALATE- Quick and effervescent, with mild malt sweetness, gentle fruit and honey, and very low bitterness.
FINISH- Clean, dry and brief, with a trace of grain lingering just long enough for the next sip.
