Bottle. Rice, maize and a hint of citrus in aroma. Clear golden yellow colour with small white head. Mild maize flavour, discrete rice.

Poured with nice light color and decent head. Smooth taste with just a touch of bitterness. One of the better Mexican large-brewery beers.

A lot like (lightly) colored water. Just not much to this stuff. If you have a choice the amber is better.

Ah, the special lager. Aromatic skunky lager initially, faint pilsner malt after the carbonation subsided. Fizzy gold, sustained white head. Sweet then scrunchy. If it were colder I could drink it quickly. Lagers and me don’t get along. I wish they did. Might not be ’bad’ but I didn’t enjoy it. drainpour.

Pours gold with visible carbonation and basically no head. Aroma has some slight skunk, some hops, but they’re buried under a domineering smell of half rotten apples. Strong carbonation, weak yet utterly disgusting taste of dodgy apples and lime, swallow is like water and leaves that shitty apple taste lingering there for ages. Take a glass and half fill it with cheap cider, then top it up with your own piss, and you’ve saved yourself the trouble of trying Dos Equis. Fucking shithouse. Drainpour.

Pour from a 12 oz bottle. Little aroma, little flavor, banal appearance. Not much going on here except for being over priced.

12 oz bottle. Pours a pale yellow color with a tiny quickly vanishing head. It has an aroma which is both crisp and skunky. It tastes skunky with a slight citrus and apple taste. This is a refreshing beer and is average for a macro brew pale lager.
