Dos Equis XX Special Lager

Brewed by FEMSA
Style: Pale Lager
Monterrey/Veracruz-Llave, Mexico

I’ve had this more than once and it’s almost always skunky. Not a fan. At all.

Pale light yellow with a fizzy white head. Aroma of hard water, bland corn. Taste is cold steel and bland corn, lightly bittering finish that lasts a while.

Bottled sample at my mother inlaws on Christmas Day. Pale yellow in colour with strong and fizzy carbonation. Faint aromas of corn sugar, skunk, and a suggestion of herbal hops. Dry and corny in the mouth, with a bit of chemical astringency. Very poor, even by pale lager standards, but at least the finish was relatively clean.

Bottle.Poures a very light, clear yellow with a fizzy white head that was very quickly.Aroma is slightly skunky,some corn,and a hint of floral hops. It’s very thin and watery. There is very little flavor, just a sweetish starch and some slight skunkiness. Overall, it’s a little better than some macros, but not by much.

Piss like color with small amount of bubbly head that quickly retreats. Aroma is of nothing. Flavor is corn, pale malt, and bittering hops. Too watery of a palate, but at least its not overly carbonated like so many American examples. Finishes quite dry. This has to be served very cold to taste even decent.

12oz bottle. Pretty good for a Mexican beer. Light colored topped with a thin head. Slightly hoppy with some citrus notes. Light bodied and easy to drink a lot of these although it could use a little more flavor.

They had it on tap at alehouse and i gave it a try. It was an ok beer that was slightly overcarbonated and lacked a lot of flavour.
