The best beers are made to be shared. That’s why Corona Familiar embraces the bright, crisp taste Corona is known for with a slightly fuller flavor, higher ABV, and shareable 32oz packaging. With strong ties to authenticity and heritage, Corona Familiar is best served in small gatherings with close friends and family, using the tradition of sharing to create meaningful experiences.

12 oz. bottle bought at Total Wine - Melbourne, FL. Pours a crystal clear gold color with a small white head and good retention. Limited lacing. Grainy pale lager aroma. Very grainy pale lager flavor. Very crisp mouthfeel with a light acidic finish. Light body. Overall generic and forgettable but no off flavors either.

Bottle to glass. First I thought this was just a rebranding of an existing beer. Clear pale. off yeast corn nose. Pretty good cutting co2 first impressions. Taste is fairly mild, perhaps a little cardboard and some of that cheap aged lager feel to it. Date code is J108Bo69. Good easy drink, could do a couple of these easy. Probably does not taste like corona extra, a little different in nature I think. But its been so long since I had an extra, can't really tell, but it is somewhat similar.

12 ounce bottle, 8/2/19. A different beer, apparently. Clear golden amber, thin white head, fair retention. Aroma of strong skunk despite the brown bottle. Also some grainy malt. Taste is grainy malt, skunky hops. Thin, slick. I guess not as bad as the traditional stuff, and some bitterness lingers, but still not great.

Light gold pour with white head, fast dissipating. Light cereal aroma. Light malt taste with a bit of hop tang. Better than the ordinary Corona.

[12oz bottle from Albertson's, Fullerton, CA.] A straw coloured pour with a ring of white head and light carbonation; cereal grain aroma; cereal taste, with a light grassy bitterness; and lingering alcohol. Little better than standard Corona.

Seems like an attempt to marry regular Corona with a Vienna lager, resulting in a beer with your traditional Corona skunkiness combined with even stronger sweet corn notes and a tiny hint of caramel and wheat bread and a malt liquor-ish back end. Unpleasant, to say the least.

Bottle in 'Flamingoes', Laguna Hills, California on 3rd March 2019. Pours a deeper gold than the regular Corona (or was the bar poorly lite?), fast fading white crown, not helped by the cold glass it went into. Semi-sweet malty lead in the taste; to cold for any aroma to be noticeable. Not be having this again unless it's at a BBQ and there is nothing else but water to drink.

12 oz bottle. Pours clear pale yellow with very small frothy whitish head, sweet malt aroma, high carbonation, sweetish doughy taste with faint citrus flavor, thin body, abrupt finish. Clean but nothing special.

Bottle: Clear, light gold with a quick white head. Grain, corn, water aroma....and a slightly less skunky note than the usual specimens. Taste is grain malt, semi-sweet cracker, a touch of mineral bitterness. Better body and flavor than the regular.
