Why does Corona Beer add lemon?

People who have drunk Corona Beer have never been able to figure out why the beer needs lemon, whether it is a feeling or for the taste. So, let's take a look at the reasons why Corona Beer puts lemons.

Why does Corona Beer add lemon?

The allusion of drinking Corona plus lemon was spread by chance on the border between the United States and Mexico. The traditional way to drink Mexican tequila is to take a sip of tequila and then taste the salt and lemon. The sweet and sour taste of lemon can make the tequila more mellow and strong, so Mexicans began to put lemons in. In Corona, the sour, sweet and refreshing lemon is a perfect match for Corona. This special drink spread across the US-Mexico border and became a unique "Corona plus lemon." 

Lime is usually added because the aroma of lime is stronger. The usual practice is to take a petal of lime with a skin into the bottle mouth and fix it, and let the beer flow through the lime when pouring beer. This is Corona's official recommendation. 

This is because Corona uses a colorless glass bottle. The smell of lime should be used to cover the odor produced by the photochemical reaction of certain components of beer.
