Dos Equis Mexican Pale Ale
These are the beer notes from the Two Old Guys Drinking Beer podcast of 04/13/19 (S3E03). The beer segment starts at 00:39 but you are certainly encouraged to listen to the whole episode.
Dennis and I both rated this beer a solid 3 (out of 5) bottle caps. It is a refreshing beer. Probably the least bitter and hoppy of the pale ales we have sampled. Give it a try.
