Corona, Modelo and Pacifico are brewed in Mexico and imported nationwide by Constellation Brands. In Pennsylvania that means cases at beer distributors, six-packs and twelve-packs at licensed grocery and convenience stores, and draft at many bars. In Maryland most beer is sold at liquor stores, since few grocery stores there hold a beer license. In West Virginia it is in grocery stores, convenience stores and gas stations. The Modelo site has a product locator by zip code; the Corona and Pacifico sites do not publish one.

Light grain and a faint skunky note from the clear glass.

Pale straw and clear.

Taste

Light, slightly sweet malt and a crisp, thin finish. The lime does a lot of work.

A hot weather beer. Best ice cold with the lime.
