Corona Extra - La Cerveza Mas Fina

Advantages: Great taste and goes marvellously with tequilla!
Disadvantages: Hard to find

...Corona Extra Corona is Mexico's best selling beer, is huge in the US and is beginning to make an impact here in the UK. It boasts rich golden colour, 4.6% ABV and a smooth yet crisp finish which does not leave you feeling bloated. It is great with a wedge of lime (make sure to crush the lime into the bottle to get the juice out before drinking!) or on it's own as a tequilla chaser (only 100% agave will do!!!). Corona, served ice cold (the way it should be!) is great on it's own but also works well with food - it compliments a chilli or curry, especially a hot one, superbly. It comes in a clear bottle with a White and Blue label. 4 Packs are generally yellow with blue writing, wheras boxes of 24 are white with blue writing. Corona in the UK used to hold, and in some places still does, a premium lager status. It was generally...

Review of Corona Extra

Corona Extra- Contrary to popular belief, better than mexican pee

Advantages: It doesn't taste like mexican pee.
Disadvantages: You really do need that slice of lime.

...Having read a few very negative reviews on this product I feel I have to set the record straight. YOU ARE ALL DRINKING IT WRONG. The LOOK It's a standard sized bottle with a black and white label saying Corona Extra with various translations of the word 'beer' printed below. It comes in packs of 4 or 6 in supermarkets for roughly £4, and can be as much as £3 when bought in a club or pub. It has a bottle cap you need the opener for, not like tuborg with it's snazzy ring pull. The TASTE On it's own, this beer is bland. It's very fizzy, very frothy, and doesn't have a massive amount of flavour to it. Most people say that like this it tastes like Mexican pee rather than beer, and to be honest, I'd have to agree with you. However, this beer is not designed to be drunk on it's own. What you are supposed to do is put a slice of lime in...

Mexican Urine !!

Advantages: None.
Disadvantages: It costs money.

...My son never gives anything away unless there is something wrong with it or he wants to look good in a crowd. The product ~~~~Corona Extra a Mexican beer .... Price £1.40 for a 330ml bottle. The look ~~~~ a seven and a half inch clear glass bottle with a three inch neck and a black and white label. The top half of the label is white with black writing saying Corona Extra. It has a crown and a dragon on either side of the crown. The bottom half of the label is black, has the word ' beer ' ' biere ' ' cerveja ' and ' bier ' on one side and the alcohol strenght of 4.6% vol on the other side. It also states that the beer is produced by Cerveceria Modelo, S.A. De C.V. Mexico, DF. The beer itself is pale gold in colour and when a little of the beer is poured or sipped from the bottle it leaves a white frothy head on the top of a very...

Review of Corona Extra

BEER??? ..... you are having a laugh!!

Advantages: Looks quite refreshing!
Disadvantages: Tastes bloody awful.

...Billed as the ultimate party beer and Mexico?s top selling beer it seemed worth a try on a night out to a pub which seemed to cater for the slightly different taste and did not have any of the beers or lagers I would normally drink. I can honestly tell you I have never tasted anything like it and I don?t mean that in a complimentary way either. The bottle ■■■■■■■■ All starts very well with a simple yet attractive looking bottle, virtually all clear with only the one label on the front which is white and black and carry`s the name of the beer (corona extra) and a few more bits of info such as the country of origin (Mexico) and the alcohol content (4.6% ABV). It looks like a refreshing bottle of beer so, so far so good. The taste ■...

If This Is A Beer.....

Advantages: It's somewhere to stick a slice of lime
Disadvantages: Where do I start

...Sometimes, I like to match a particular beer to certain food. Chimay Rouge goes really well with simple bread and cheese; nothing compliments 'moules et frites' like Duvel or Hoegaarden; A nice SA Boston Lager is perfect to wash down burger and fries; Bratwurst? -Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbier; and 'ye cannae whack' a pint of McEwans when you're sitting down to haggis, neeps an' tatties. I could go on but, you get the drift. So the other week, when Mrs p was making her famous 'Lavaflow'? Chilli, I thought a suitable beverage to accompany this gently explosive dish would be a Mexican beer like Corona Extra. I won't make that mistake again. Corona Extra is Mexico's number one beer, USA's top import and is hugely popular worldwide. In fact it is among the top five beer brands globally. It's the flagship beer of Grupo Modelo, who...

Review of Corona Extra

Viva Mexico

Advantages: Beautiful, thirstqenching, heaven,
Disadvantages: Headache inducing

...After being reared on a combination of draught Bass, Banks and Wothington,s fine ales a move from the Midlands To the North East was a step backwards for my taste buds. The sludge that passes for beer up he I could not get away with and so I became virtually tea total. On a hot day the occasional lager would pass my lips, but nothing really set my taste buds jangling, and so it remained for a number of years where the only drink was for social reasons until now that is. Now by good fortune I was invited to see the sights of Newcastle upon Tyne from the top deck of an open top London bus painted a vivid yellow, and so it was that I set off from home on a cold windy Tyneside evening and joined the tour. On boarding the bus with about 20 others I was led to an ice box and a bottle of frothy Corona extra pushed in to my hand, I was...

Review of Corona Extra

The Taste of Summer

Advantages: Taste, colour, no bloating
Disadvantages: Bit expensive if not on offer.

...For me Corona really is the taste of summer. Corona Extra is a Mexican lager. It\'s has a clean crisp taste and is 4.6% alcohol. In Britain it comes in 33cl glass bottles. The bottle is really quite plain, clear glass with no label, the logo is printed on the bottle and the best before date printed on the base. The beer itself is a lovely golden colour but seems to be lighter and clearer than any other lager i know. It also doesn't bloat me like other brands. The best way to serve Corona is well chilled, straight from the bottle with a squeeze (or a wedge) of fresh lime. Very refreshing It's the perfect summer beer, great for barbeques and beer gardens. It allows me to reminise of holidays past. Prices vary from outlet to outlet. As I generally drink in the garden during summer I buy a box of 24 bottles for £17...

A bookcase by a headcase?

Advantages: Well priced, attractive, storage space.
Disadvantages: None as yet.

...This unit belongs to a range of Mexican furniture called the Corona furniture Pine Collection. The Corona range offers a wide choice of items to furnish living, dining rooms and bedrooms. This stylish flat pack furniture has pine beds, Mexican dining sets, wooden TV cabinets, bookcases and wardrobes. It is made from pine and finished in a waxed rustic disressed style that is set off with black metal hinges that are really effective. The distressed finish has nicks and woodworm marks (NOT REAL). There are many outlets that stock this type of furniture and the prices can vary greatly for the identical piece so it is wise to shop around. Just type 'Corona furniture' in Google to see for yourself the numerous pieces available and to check the disparity in the prices. Having moved house earlier this year, we had a space in...

Review of Corona Display Bookcase

give this a go

Advantages: very refereshing drink
Disadvantages: hard to find in Supermarkets,

...I got introduced to Corona Extra whilst in the pub on friday night with some work colleagues, I was rather curious when people were drinking Corona. I am not a beer/lager drinker...I normally just stick to pre mixed vodka drinks (alcopops but like i'm going to say im an alcopop drinker) but like i said i was curious to try it, my mate let me try hers. At first i didn't like it at all (as i was so used to sweet drinks) but the sweetness and tangy bite from the wedge of lime which was in it, complemented the drink really well, so well to the point that i just drunk Corona all night. Corona Extra is a pilsner type beer (or lager what ever you want to call it I don't know the difference anyway) was first brewed in 1925 in Mexico, it is Mexicos top selling beer and is imported into the United States - its actually the USA's top import...

Review of Corona Extra

Corona's worst nightmare!

Advantages: Great tasting
Disadvantages: Pricey

...I tried desperados for the first time when a friend brought me back a few as a present from a trip to germany and france. I instantly liked the drink and now by them when ever i see them. However being english the product is hard to come by. I live just outside of bath and have only found them in 'the pig and fiddle' bar in bath. However they are readily available in france and germany and when ever i travel in these areas i make sure to bring them back. However UK prices tend to be far higher, in Bath (not a city renound for high prices) the cost of a desperado is 3.50 (pound). The product is a pale beer flavoured with tecqualia, the taste is quite sweet and goes down very easily. It is alot different from its rival product 'Corona' which in comparison is alot more bitter. The flavour of the drink can be inhanst by the adding lime to...
