Corona Extra tries to hide its unpleasant taste and skunky smell behind lots of fizz. In a blind test, our beer tasters weren't fooled - they rated Corona Extra as not recommended!

Beer test results for Corona Extra
In a blind test, our beer tasters came to the following conclusions:
| Appearance: |
Looks watery and light. |
| Aroma/Bouquet: |
Low intensity, somewhat skunky. |
| Taste: |
Strong carbonation, with a short, stale aftertaste. |
| Summary: |
Not recommended. |
In a blind test of Corona Extra, our tasters commented:
“Cidery yet fresh but the bottom line is: this is watery piss.”
“Now this is a try-hard beer. It has a bad smell, it’s fizzy and it has an unpleasant aftertaste.”
“This is a light beer with a bit of cabbage smell. This beer is carried only by its fizz.”
“Doesn’t do it for me. Too little intensity of anything.”
“This is a flowery affair. Low intensity but acceptable.”

Utter utter rubbish! I once heard this beer described as “a triumph of marketing over substance” - absolutely spot on!

bit of a try hard drink, stupid bottle design, with thin neck and thin body, makes it heat up quicker.

Corona is not meant to be drunk with any kind of lemon/lime! The Mexicans only put it in to stop flies from getting in.
