Commercial Description:
Dos Equis Amber is a rich, full-bodied Mexican import with a reddish-gold color and is made from the finest ingredients, representing the brand’s traditional Mexican heritage. The history of Dos Equis Amber is traced to the development of the popular Oktoberfest-style of Vienna lager originally created during the mid-19th century.

Bottle @ pre-GBBF shindig, August 2009. Attractive amber colour. Sweetish but pleasant. Mainly malty with pronounced, but not cloying, caramel notes. Some fruit and a lick of sharp hops. Not too fizzy. Better than expected.

Better than most Mexican beers, if that is a nice thing to say about it. 12 oz. bottle to lager glass. Nice clear dark amber color, with weak head--just some spotty lacing. Malt, bread, light caramel, nothing very strong, but it’s there none the less. Lightly sweet, with some quick and weak hop bitter finish, again, nothing that is a statement. Thin and a bit too carbonated for what it has to offer. It is okay, but that is a back handed compliment, at least it doesn’t need a lime to hide the taste.

On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a clear, copper-amber colored body with an inch thick, off-white head that dissipates quickly and leaves a light lacing. Aroma is thin and dry with a vague corny, dirty caramel, somewhat toasted breadiness. Flavor is the same with a cardboard maltiness, some bread, and a trace of hop bitterness with no aftertaste. Light bodied, crisp, and moderately carbonated. Overall, a boring, watery "dark" lager. The most interesting man in the world clearly hasn’t experienced more than a Guiness.

Brown amber pour with a finger thick head of loose off white bubbles. Weak beer with a very slight hint of hops (and I mean slight). A little malt and even less of a caramel profile. Generally weak and would make for a refreshing summer beer: refreshing only because it borders on water.

Pours amber/red with an off-white head, aroma and taste mildly malty and slightly sweet. Reasonably tasty, but too weak for its price tag. Better than other Mexican stuff I’ve had.

Pours red with white head, aroma is caramel sweet. Taste is very light malt flavor, no hops, and a sweet finish. Average vienna style.

Thin and weak. Not going into much detail for obvious reasons; nothing to report. Doesn’t even compliment crappy Mexican food.

Pours amber color with a dark off white head that dissipates instantly. Aroma is caramel, yeast and pine that’s pretty nice. Flavor is mildly bitter and the palate is crisp and clean. This is a solid Mexican beer...I don’t drink Mexican beer very often but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.
