Dos Equis XX Special Lager

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

Rated while drinking: Pale golden color with a small white head. Smells like a bush or maybe mowed grass. More sugar-flavored water here. Fun to pound ’em at a party probably. Better than mainstream American beers I guess.

Bottle. Pale yellow. Mild grain/corn nose. Very thin, watery and near-lifeless palate. Flavour would be similar to cornflakes in water. A disappointing beer consumed in desperate times.

Bottle. Yellow with small head. *Very little aroma and thin taste. Not very impressing

I wasn’t crazy about this brew. Bitter skunky aroma. Nothing special on flavor. I dont reccomend it. I Have yet to try the brown-bottled cousin.

Green bottle. Pours a crystal clear, light straw color, with a thin white head. Light malt aroma, with a slight yeast/vinegar aroma. Nice full body for a pale lager, with a well rounded flavor. Still taste a bit of the vinegar thought. But, the rest of the beer doesn’t seem to have gone bad.

Forced to drink this in Epcots Mexico and i was suprised to find that it was beter than i remember. Still not good bout better than a miller or bud.

Great with Mexican food or on a hot day. Usually pop one open when I’m doing lawn work. Hint of hops, very simple brew. Nothing to write home about.

Pours a clear golden color into the shaker glass. A quick hint of hops diminish. A very one dimensional lager with nothing too exciting going on. A good pairing for Mexican food.
