Hehehe, that be me. Any Dos Equis fans out there? You know, XX? I hadn't had any in quite awhile but at one time I did think it was pretty good beer. Seems like they changed it at some point along the line, maybe to make a bid for more of the Corona crowd, or something. Anyway, I didn't care that much for it after that. But I was in the local Food City this weekend buying the makings for some hot burritos and they had 12-packs on sale for a decent price so thought I would give it a try again. Picked up the Special Lager. That's the one in the green bottles, which goes against my normal predisposition to avoid beer in green bottles. It claims to be "a golden, aromatic European-style pilsner". It is yellow, so I'll give it the "golden" part, but forget the rest. This isn't good beer. No head, not much aroma, weak flavor and actually kind of a metallic skunkiness. Definitely made to compete with American beers and the "Americanized" Mexican beers like Corona. Should've picked up the "regular" Dos Equis Amber. Anyone have a recent opinion on that one? Think I'll stick with Pacifico or Negra Modelo in the future, except you don't often see the latter for a good price and the last Pacifico I bought was kind of flat

But I've been listening a lot to Spoon the last couple days and Kill The Moonlight is such a good album. Can't believe this one seems to polarize the fans so much. Stellar album. Catchy melodies, Britt's great vocals, wide open spaces, love it. Maybe more than Girls Can Tell. Normally I'm totally in tune with Heather Phares at AMG, and I do tend to agree with some of what she says in the review, but the 3-star rating is just wrong on this one. Same with Stone Gotta pick up Series of Sneaks one of these days. Britt's playing an instore on Friday at Stinkweeds near me in Tempe so I may have to check that out. Just a little tiny place so don't know how they do it. Not free, though. Six bucks. One of the best bands around now but not sure how good he is solo. Wish it was a full band. Oh well. Anyone wanna come over and help me finish off this Dos Equis? Is it a bad sign when you find yourself drinking beer that you don't really even like? Uh oh......
