Dos Equis XX Special Lager

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

12oz bottle. this swill is even more of a metallic foul piece of shit than it’s darker, supposedly "Amber" cousin. like aluminum tasting Bud Light in a green bottle.

Bottle courtesy of free drink coupons on Rey Del Mar Pirate Ship Sunset Cruise in Puerto Penasco Mexico. Aroma of malt, and water. Flavor of a little malt, lime, a touch of hops and a little skunk. Every time I drink this I end up with a dry throat the next morning. Drinker Beware.

12oz bottle: pours golden brown with little head, aroma of malt, flavor is like a typical lager but has a little character to it, like there is some spices tossed in. doesnt taste like a normal mexican lager.

~Pours a watered down looking yellowish colour with no head. ~ Corn sour malt scent with little hop. characteristics. ~ Sour taste that is similar in all cheap beers. Like a sour straw. Somewhat sweet. ~ Suprisingly light to medium bodied. A little sticky ~ This beer is Ok. Not much to speak of. Watered down and boring.

Bottle. Pours a light yellow color with a white head. Aroma and Taste are faintly of malt. On the watery side. I thought this would be better than what it was. Rather over rated and over priced considering there are better pale lagers that are priced cheaper.

Pretty good Mexican beer. Light colored topped with a thin head. Pretty good mouthfeel and flavor to this. Slightly hoppy with some citris notes in there and smooth all the way through. Easy to drink a lot of these. I suppose it could use a little more flavor, there wasn’t a whole lot of it. But there weren’t any characteristics that I felt were poor either. I’d get it again.

German brewed Light Lager,must have a lime. By far my favorite mexican brew, great for hot days and BBQ’s

Not to bad. Light golden color. Crisp and refreshing. Much better than Corona or other standard Mexican beers.
