Corona Familiar (94.6cl, 4.8%)

Corona Familiar is a full-bodied Mexican lager brewed by Grupo Modelo at 4.8% ABV in a 946 ml brown glass bottle. It is the maltier, richer sibling in Corona's lineup, with the brown bottle shielding it from light-struck off-flavours. The recipe uses water, barley malt, non-malted cereals including corn and hops, fermented by cold lagering. It is brewed across seven plants in Mexico. The aroma opens with toasted malt and subtle corn sweetness, followed by a gentle herbal hop note and a faint bready, biscuity quality. The palate is medium-bodied with caramelised malt, light grain sweetness, whole-grain breadiness, light caramel and crisp minerality, balanced by earthy hop bitterness. The finish is clean and refreshing, with moderate hop bitterness and lingering toasted cereal.
