A lovely Mexican beer, great when it comes straight out of the fridge. Put a slice of lime or orange into the bottle to make it taste even nicer.

A great beer when its hot day. You can pick up Corona really cheap now in most bars which is a plus.

this was actually my first favorite beer until i started drinking other beers and alcoholic beverages. once i tasted others besides corona extra i quickly realize that they were better tasting and i had been wasting my time with this stuff. it tastes horrible and has a nasty aftertaste. also it smells like a skunk.

A few countries in the world have a good beer culture. Places where it's kind of the national (non-spirit) drink of choice, where the image of beer and country are inextricably linked. You think Czech Republic, Germany, Britain, Ireland all famed for their characteristic beer. Mexico is another one on the list. Corona and Sol are the big worldwide brands that are synonymous with lazing on a tropical beach or hanging out in the shady, green courtyard of a hacienda. Whilst neither is by any measure the best Mexico has to offer, they are easy to get hold of and of the two Corona is the better

It's a little tasteless and needs to be very cold.It also needs to have a wedge of lime in the bottle to become a very refreshing drink if served correctly (squeeze the juice of the lime into the bottle, then plop the squeezed lime into the beer and gently invert it to get a good lime flavour)
.
Goes brilliantly with Mexican food, especially if you have some tequila to follow it up with afterwards.

On the downside there is an element of marketing over substance like with many global beer brands, but this is at least a better drink than many of it's global competitors originating from north of the Rio Grande

I grew up in So. Cal. and drank ALL kinds of beer. Everything from Mickey's Big Mouth (does that even qualify as beer) to Dos Equis and of course Corona. I acquired a taste for it then and now that I live in PA I still Love my Corona. It's the best beer ever, and we have to buy it by the case full here! It doesn't last long anyway while the others sit in the refrigerator untouched. I LOVE my Coronas!

The fact is, that to drink this Corona Extra beer properly you must insist to your mate who is buying or to the barmaid who is serving that a sliced lemon stuffed half way down the neck of the bottle, with the back end poking out of the eye of the opening, is absolutely essential in any case. This beer has a slightly less alcohol content at around the 4.7% area, which helps accommodate the hangover the next day. The lemon may seem to lager fuelled non-experts, that you appear a bit feminine - however a true man of macho charisma will not feel ashamed to ask for a lemon inserted into the neck of this drink at his local Ferrit & Spanner pub.
