🌍 Mexico · Light Lager · One of 62 Light Lagers in hopIQ

Corona Light is the long-standing light beer of the brand, which calls it a pilsner-style lager; it is brewed from water, barley malt, non-malted cereals and hops. It pours a clear, bright golden yellow with a white head. The aroma is faint, showing fruit, honey and a little grainy malt. The palate is thin and brisk, with a light hop flavour, a trace of cereal sweetness and a slight hop bite that leads into a dry, clean finish.
