Comments
Tastes okay
Better than average, about as yummy as I used to recall imports tasting in my youth.
The beer that disappears
Poured a straw yellow with a bubbly head. Smell is faint but is sweet and grainy. Tasting the beer was a bit difficult because of all of the fizz (which, I guess is a good thing?). What I could taste was lots of grain and a bit of malt that fades away with no finishing touches. Get the smell, start to get a taste, fizz coats your tongue, and the fizz and taste disappear at the same time, leaving you with little flavor on the tongue and half a desire to take another gulp in hopes there might be more taste in the next swallow.
Maybe it would be better to just...stay thirsty?
Clear yellow, a thin head that lasts all of 5 seconds.
Some pale malts, and a slightly sour aroma that I can't quite place. Not much going on here, either.
Taste seems a little more dulled than the nose, with a brief maltiness and a high sweetness and then the hop flavors finish fairly quickly with only the briefest of an aftertaste.
Light body with some pretty high carbonation - a little too much for my taste. Leaves a light and sticky reside on the tongue too.
Although the Dos Equis isn't horrible, it's not really anything special. I would say it's predictable, but I don't ever remember the weird sour-ish aroma I had in this bottle.
