Pros: Crisp and refreshing.
Cons: Green glass bottles.
Summary: I am always fond of matching beer and food by country of origin. There is a lot to be said for the practice, and I think it adds to the local feel you get when dining, even if you’re not dining in the area your food and brew come from. That was...

Pros: A golden lager; Complex
Cons: tendency to drink to many
Summary: Dos Equis XX Special Lager was crafted by a German brewmaster in Mexico in 1897. The originally name was "Siglo XX" to signify the new millennium. Now, simply called Dos Equis XX. This product was imported to the United State in 1983.

Pros: it's quenching
Cons: you might as well drink Corona
Summary: Dos Equis "Special Lager" (note my ironic quotes) now seems to be the standard Dos Equis brand. This means, at least in my limited experience, that if you blithely wander into a bar and say "Dos Equis," THIS is what you will get. It seems that more and...

Pros: a good drinking, affordable import
Cons: a bit thin for the style
Summary: This beer review provides me with another stroll down Memory Lane--sort of. Back in the mid 80s, I used to frequent a New York City bar called the Lone Star Cafe. I saw many great performers like Bo Diddley, Albert King, Buddy Guy, Dickie Betts,...

Pros: Best beer there is.
Cons: It's a beer.
Summary: I have never been one to go out of my way to savor the crappy taste of beer, rather heading for full volume alcohol if I am going to get drunk. However, last summer I was introduced to Dos Equis at a local tavern and I didn't mind the taste of what I...

Pros: Reasonable prices, good flavor, light
Cons: Could have more hops
Summary: This is the best of the Mexican beers. It has a good flavor, mildly of hops and a bit of barley. It is also quite light, tasting very refreshing in hot weather. It has a slight head. Its flavor is superior to Tecate or Carta Blanca (those two leave...

Pros: Smooth, nice flavor. Excellent grain touch to body.
Cons: Very hard to find in USA.
Summary: I had never even heard of Dos Equis before I made a trip to Cancun, Mexico. Once I tried one on the bus, I really had to have more. Dos Equis has a very smooth, nice body. It's strong enough to not be confused with Corona. I like Dos Equis because it...

Pros: Good flavor that goes down smooooth.
Cons: Hard to find at times.
Summary: The first time I drank Dos Equis Special Lager (we called it Dos Equis Green) was in Mazatlan, Mexico while I was on Spring Break in 1993. I was worried about going to Mexico, because I'm not a beer drinker, and I was afraid to drink the mixed drinks...

Pros: Great price, great taste, a truly satisfying beer
Cons: Not as easy to find as more popular beers
Summary: In the mood for a good beer but don't want to spend a lot of money? Well, quit playing around on that silly computer, hop in that car, point it toward the nearest liquor store and get a six pack of this stuff. Why? Well, it tastes great and a six pack...

Pros: A great tasting beer with meals
Cons: bitter at first
Summary: Oh Cancun, how I long to be there. The beach, the sun, the people....all of which I never saw. Something I saw plenty of there though, Dos Equis beer.
The green bottle of Dos Equis' Special Lager is an image that is burned in my memory....

Pros: smooth taste
Cons: price
Summary: This is one of my favorite beers. It reminds me a lot like Corona. I must have mine with a lime to make it taste just right. I tried the regular Dos Equis and it was very bitter. That is not the case for the lager (green bottle). I live in Texas so...

Pros: Light, tasty
Cons: none
Summary: I ordered a Dos Equis, my beer of choice with Mexican food, one day at my favorite cantina and didn't pay attention when the waiter asked if I wanted the lager.
There's only one Dos Equis, right. Wrong-o. There are dos, and they are very...
