First off, this beer doesn't stack up in terms of flavor against any craft beer. But that's not it's purpose. Dos Equis makes a beer that's meant to be refreshing and easy to drink while sitting on a beach. It's in a league versus Corona, Pacifico, Victoria, et cetera. And in that league, I think Dos Equis is the best. It's crisp on the palate, and has that malt flavor you get in a real craft lager. Finish is a bit sweet, but mostly clean. All in all, my go-to easy to find/cheap beach beer.
