Dos Equis Special Lager

by Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma, S.A. de C.V. - Monterrey, Mexico
Style: American Macro Lager
ABV: 5%

Most everyone's had this beer. It's good. No lime is necessary, but everyone seems to like it with a lime. Much better than Corona.

You may be asking "What the hell is American Macro Lager?" Well BeerAdvocate.com describes it like this:
Light bodied, pale, fizzy lagers made popular by the large macro-breweries of America after prohibition. Low bitterness, thin malts, and moderate alcohol. Focus is less on flavor and more on mass-production and consumption, cutting flavor and costs with adjunct cereal grains, like rice and corn.
Even though this beer is lumped in style-wise with Budweiser and Coor's Light, Dos Equis is a pretty solid brew. A terrific choice if you want something light and refreshing.
