Dos Equis XX Special Lager

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

To follow up to skidds review before me, let it be known that I am not the most interesting man in the world. My beard is not on my organ donor’s list. Anyway this is just a plain ol’ watery lager. Substitute Pacifico/Corona/Modelo and no one would notice.

I don’t drink a lot (ya, right). But when I do, I DON"T drink Dos Equis. Another Spanish beer that requires a lemon added to it to make it taste like anything. They just can’t seem to get this right. I will say it is better than most Southern beers I’ve had however.

Didn’t get much out of this. Seemed like a typical macrobrewery lager. I guess it is about what I’d expect from sotb.

Pours a golden color with a white head. Smells of corn and malt. A simple and not a good beer.

Light yellow. Watered down with light notes of corn and yeast. Pretty boring and bland overall. One of those beers good only for one thing.......BEER PONG

unless i’m actually in mexico i will enevr drink this again. My god........it’s water! I’ve had this about 1000 times before with just a different label on the bottle.Typical plae lager.....nothing more to say

Green 12oz bottle. pours clear golden, thin white head. aroma of corn adjuncts. Flavor is light, malty, bland, boring. Mexican corn on the cob in a bottle. Perfect while watching Nacho Libre or a short vaca in Cancun. Both of which I won’t do! I’m sure that this is still way better than the water.

Sampled at the Downtown London Beerfest. Pale sparkling gold under a short lived fizzy white cap. Nose of pale malts and sweet grains, some veggie aromas come after. Sweet grains and pale malts with grassy hops that barely make their mark. Fizzy, somewhat bitter finish. I feel I’ve had this beer a thousand times before.
