Dos Equis XX

Pros: Good feel on the tongue
Cons: My head faded fast.

A couple of weeks ago I was in Mexico on the road between Cancun and Playa del Carmen on highway 307. It's a pretty smooth very straight road with just a few traffic lights. I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I SAW!! Up ahead I saw a bill board. On it ...

Pros: Nice tasting; no aftertaste; easy to drink.
Cons: Will be too light for some.

We went to a Mexican restaurant recently. Three out of four of us ordered a bottle of Dos Equis XX. Dos Equis comes in a dark brown bottle making it difficult to see its pretty color. It is made with roasted malts, hops, yeast and purified water. ...

Pros: Crisp and refreshing
Cons: Not a lot of complexity or character. A little over-carbonated

As you can imagine, on our recent trip to Spain I was forced to consume copious quantities of cold b ...

Pros: Not the best, but still a good beer.
Cons: Could use more malt and hops.

I’ve never been to Mexico. At least not yet, anyway. But I have enjoyed Mexican culture here in the good ole USA. In most parts of Georgia that I’ve visited, Mexican restaurants are ubiquitous, most of them with delicious freshly made dishes that ...

Pros: Smooth, Great with Mexican Food
Cons: A Tad Light

Mexico is known for a few good things. One of these is good food. Another is fiestas and all- night parties. A third is great vacation sites and tourist traps. But one area where our southern neighbors are a little less than great is with the production...

Pros: smooth malty flavor, perfectly balanced
Cons: a little light for me...

Dos Equis Amber is one of the most well-known and widely available of the many brands produced by the Cerveceria Cuahtemoc Moctezuma, headquartered in Monterrey Mexico, but with several breweries located throughout the Republic. Most of the Dos Equis...

Pros: Great pairing for Mexican food
Cons: There are better beers in the style

Some people my look at our desert climate as something of a discomfort once August comes around. The usually vibrant tourist market is dead, the more affluent and wealthy leave town, while those that are a little more pennywise return to live in their...

Pros: Smooth, malty and downright tasty.
Cons: A little thin, not as easy to find as other beers.

This stuff is nothing but a bottle full of trouble. Trouble? Yes, indeed. And, here's the reason why -- this stuff goes down as smooth and easy as water, but the flavor is absolutely fantastic.

The formula for Dos Equis seems to be this --...

Pros: Light and smooth
Cons: Taste may be too subtle for some

Dos Equis Special Lager is, for my money, the best south of the border drink. It does have a stablemate, which is also worthy of consideration. Dos Equis Amber is a Viennese-style lager which can easily hold its own among beers of the world. When I...

Pros: A highly flavorful beer
Cons: None

Having just returned from Cozumel, I must take a few moments to write about one of the finest Mexican beers I had to drink while I was down there.

Dos Equis XX is a terrific beer that goes great with a spicy Mexican meal or just to sip on the...

Pros: Rich, Malty, Classic Style, Price is Right
Cons: none

I am generally not a big fan of Mexican beers. Mexico is a country with a very warm subtropical to tropical climate. They make very light American style lagers which are quenching and easy to drink in hot weather. This usually means that the beers are...

Pros: A rich, complex flavor that goes well with many foods
Cons: an unfortunate aftertaste

There are many Mexican beers on the market today; they range from the bland, Americanized Corona to the dark, powerful Tecate. By far the best of these is Dos Equis.

Dos Equis has a dark caramel color, which is pleasing to the eye. From the...

Pros: Strong, interesting flavor
Cons: Can get to be a bit too much

In the spectrum of Mexican beers, if Corona was infrared, then Dos Equis XX would have to be ultraviolet. These two imports from south of the border are about as different as night and day.

Unlike the light, crisp taste of Corona, Dos Equis...

Pros: very drinkable
Cons: utterly flavorless

What to say about Dos Equis? It is a very smooth, drinkable beer that should appeal to many people. It has a very light body although its color is dark-copper-brown. It is almost completely devoid of any hop flavor, which is probably a good thing...

Pros: mexican beer at its best
Cons: not the most available beer on the market

Dos Equis is pretty darn cheap in Tijiuana, and that is where I got to know this beer. Despite the sound of that, it is a very good beer.

I really found it odd that when I returned to the north east part of the country that this beer was...
