Dos Equis XX Special Lager

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

Pale yellow. Very very faint hops aroma. Smallish white head that diminishes rapidly. Tastes like seltzer with a faint hint of beer. The best thing about it is the carbonation on the tongue, and that overpowers any beer-like qualities it may possess.

I had this beer in Mexico on the beach in Ensenada. Thought it was one of the most disgusting I had ever drunk. Good thing I only had to pay $1 for it. I won’t drink again. Tastes like water with a little bit of beer flavoring added. Weak and lack of good taste.

Bottle. Golden Color, thin white head. Aroma is weak with notes of malt, flavor is some watery and little bit bitter. Better the some Brazilian Popular beer. Cerveja dourada, com pouca espuma, aroma fraco com notas de mnalte, sabor aguado e pouco amarga. Boa para dias quentes, melhor que muita cerveja nacional popular.

Tasted this for the first time in Mexico on holiday. Fairly middle of the range: not particularly flavoursome, but nice and refreshing all the same.

12oz Bottle. One of my old favorites from years past. Not very good but holds fond memories. Basically Mexican swill but way better than corona

I drank this during a cerveza craze that I had for about a week. I actually liked the Miller chill better believe it or not. It was better when I drank it from a lager glass because when I drank it right from the bottle, it had a somewhat blood taste to it. I’m sticking to ales.

Bottle. Clear golden color. Good carbonation. A little bit sweet, very refreshing. Nice beer overall, doesn’t taste like a tipical Mexican beer (i.e. Corona, Sol).

Bottle... again, like the Amber, it just tastes like water. Not good at all.
