Corona Cero Review

Corona Cero is the 0.0% alcohol-free version of one of the world’s most recognisable lager brands. It is designed to deliver the same light, crisp and beach-friendly drinking experience as classic Corona, but without the alcohol. This is very much an easy-going alcohol-free lager rather than a bold craft beer, and that is exactly where it works best.

In the glass, Corona Cero pours a pale golden colour with lively carbonation and a light white head. It looks clean and refreshing, with the familiar bright lager appearance you would expect from Corona.

The aroma is gentle, with light grain, subtle malt sweetness and a mild citrus note. It is not hugely aromatic, but it has enough freshness to feel inviting, especially when served cold with a wedge of lime.

On the palate, Corona Cero is crisp, clean and lightly malty. The bitterness is soft, the body is fairly light, and the finish is refreshing rather than intense. The lime helps lift the flavour and gives it the familiar Corona summer-drinking character.

Overall, Corona Cero is a solid alcohol-free lager for warm weather, casual drinking and social occasions. It is not the most complex beer in the alcohol-free category, but it is reliable, refreshing and easy to recommend if you want a simple 0.0% lager that feels familiar.

Best served:

Serve Corona Cero ice cold, ideally straight from the bottle with a wedge of lime in the neck. It suits warm weather, BBQs, beach-style drinking and occasions where you want something simple, crisp and refreshing.

Pairing recommendation:

Best paired with tacos, nachos, grilled chicken, seafood, lime-heavy salads, spicy Mexican food or casual summer BBQ dishes. The light body and citrus lift work especially well with salty and spicy food.
