Which Mexican beer is often served with a lime wedge?

Corona is the Mexican beer often served with a lime wedge.

Corona is a pale lager brand produced in Mexico by Grupo Modelo. The best-known version, Corona Extra, was introduced in 1925 and became internationally associated with its clear bottle and the distinctive practice of placing a lime or lemon wedge in the neck.

The citrus adds tartness and aroma, and it can also brighten the flavor of a relatively light, crisp lager. Although lime is the familiar choice, lemon is also used in some places. The garnish is a serving tradition, not an ingredient required by the beer’s recipe.

Corona is sometimes confused with other Mexican lagers such as Modelo Especial, Tecate, and Pacifico. Those beers may also be served with citrus, but Corona is the canonical answer because the lime-in-the-bottle custom is especially strongly linked with the brand. Its mash bill includes corn alongside barley malt, hops, and water.
