I'd consider myself an expert on non-alcoholic beer, I've sampled a lot of them over the years - the early days of NA beer was pretty bad but we're now at the point where NA beer is pretty much on par with the regular full alcohol versions, full on flavour without the alcohol. Today's sampling is Corona's Sunbrew 0.0% brewed with natural flavour and Vitamin D. This is the first time I've seen a beer mention any vitamins added to the product. It's 2025 and Corona's Sunbrew is considered to be one of the most popular non-alcoholic beers in the world, so what took me so long to finally review it? Well, a busy life, not wanting to give Labatt Canada/AB InBev any of my money, and really.. nobody ever asked me to review this, even with how popular it has become in the non-alcoholic beverage industry.Corona Sunbrew is brewed in London, Ontario. It's stated to be 0.0% ABV. The ingredients consist of dealcoholized beer, barley, sugar, natural flavour, Vitamin D. 60 Calories per 355mL can.
Appearance: Clear golden lager with a nice bright white frothy head on top at the beginning. The head diminishes pretty quickly, leaving behind patches of bubbles on the glass. Minimal carbonation in the beer's body.
Aroma: Well, It pretty much smells like the Corona I had on draught at the resort I was at in Bucerías, México two months ago, well.. at their buffets. It's sweet, a tad sharp to the nose but not skunky. Notes of grassy hops, a tad sugary at the end.. the sugariness at the end seems completely unnecessary.
Taste: Fairly light in taste - I pretty much get the taste of straw, a hint of honey, a tad bit of graininess, and a definite sugariness at the end. The beer is ridiculously crisp, smooth and crushable. This for sure tastes like Corona straight out of a can or draught, but a bit sweeter.
Overall Thoughts: I found it weird that many people were calling this "the best" non-alcoholic beer they've ever had time and time again but I see it now - this tastes exactly like Corona, which was a very light tasting lager to begin with if you had it on draught/can or skunky out of a bottle. They were able to replicate the taste of the regular version of the beer as if it's fresh out of a keg. This is 100% Corona, alcohol-free.

Shocking how good this one is. Tastes just like Corona, and has more “weight”? Or depth? than most NA beers I’ve had. Can easily crush one down in like three sips.
