Had this at a Mexican eatery at La Boqueria in Barcelona. Typical good refreshing, kind of semi-light Mexican lager that goes well with Mexican food. Was good on a hot summer day.

Pours out clear straw in color. The head is a little foamy with decent retention. Seeing a little lacing evenly around the glass.
A good amount of lemon, faint grains, and some pennies. No corn sweetness which is good.
Light in flavor. Still get that graininess which is nice but that metallic twang still lingers. Not as offensive as other AAL though.
Mouthfeel is light bodied with high carbonation. Typical.
This is just ok. A tad better than a few I could name. And I mean tad.

I had my first one of these at a party not long ago, and was excited to try it. After trying it, I was no longer excited. Boring-boring-boring. That is all there is to describe this beer. The commercials make it seem like something you'll want to buy and enjoy. No. It's not premium (except in price) it's not at all good, nothing.

Like a girl that wears Chuck Taylors, Raul is taking this one in caution. Dos Equis comes in a green glass, so we aren’t exactly starting on the right foot. That being said, Raul has totally dated a girl that wore Chucks, and it was all good! And when he drains this Mexican lager out of a green bottle (poured into a Bruery tulip) he’s feeling it! I guess all this one boils down to is: don’t judge a book by its cover!

By far my favorite Mexican beer. Very smooth and refreshing. Enjoy on a hot summer day after yard work. It really hits the spot. Would definitely get this beer again and again. Cheers.

The sparkling gold body has a white head that leaves a solid curtain on the glass.
Notes of white grape and semi-sweet corn come along with an almost tart spritz of lemon as well as a touch of wheat.
There's a bit more balance away from the sweetness than found in the Tecate lager, as it brings with it a moderate froth, moderate body and semi-wet finish.
