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

Corona Premier is the soft, light-bodied member of the family that the brand calls smooth and refined, brewed from water, barley malt, non-malted cereals and hops. It shows a pale, clear gold. The brewery names fruit, honey and malt in the nose; compared with the Extra it leans towards malt, with lightly toasted grain and hardly any hop aroma. The palate is gently sweet and even-bodied, the bitterness is very low, and the finish is crisp and clean.
