Beer: Corona
Beer: Corona
Corona is a lager brewed in Mexico by Grupo Modelo! In the United States, Corona is the top selling imported beer. Corona is often served with a wedge of lime or lemon, and a dash of salt inserted into the neck of the bottle. It is common in Europe, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Latin America for Corona to be served with a slice of lime in the neck. The reason for the lime is that hop compounds degrade when they come into contact with light. This reaction results in lightstruck beer that is particularly common in clear bottles, such as Corona's, that do not easily reflect light. This causes beer to smell 'skunky,' and the lime is used to mask this aroma.
