Corona

Corona (Corona Extra) is the most popular Mexican beer and of the best-known beers worldwide. This golden-colored, refreshing beer is often categorized as a light American-style lager. It has a light-body and a crisp and a subtly sweet malty flavor.

The drink was introduced in 1925, and it is bottled at 4.6% ABV. Corona is usually served with a lime wedge tucked inside the neck of the bottle. It is not known when and why this custom appeared, but it supposedly compliments the flavor of the beer.

Although Corona is rarely lauded for its quality, it customarily appears on the lists of top-selling beer brands. Its name stems from the Sun's corona—an aura of plasma surrounding the Sun and other stars. The beer got a somewhat bad reputation during the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020, and the brand could not escape the inevitable association with the epidemic.
