Dos Equis XX Ambar

Brewed by FEMSA - Cuauhtémoc-Moctezuma (Heineken)
Style: American Dark Lager
Monterrey/Veracruz-Llave, Mexico

Serve in Dimpled mug, Lager glass, Shaker

Poured from 12oz bottle. Pours an amber color with some beige head. This is a beer best enjoyed with guacamole and chips. This is far from the best beer you will ever have, but it ain’t half bad for a crappy little Mexican beer. More flavor than Corona by far. STAY THIRSTY MY FRIEND!

Bottle. Well, I actually was going to have a Bud at this shitty Mexican place that I stopped at here in town, but they were out. So, at least I’m ticking off the American Dark Lager style for myself...didn’t even really mean to, but nice tangential benefit. Pours with a minimal white head, clear amber orange. Aroma of paper, apples, corn, and slight sweetness. A touch of slight bitterness comes in, but quite malty and the cardboard comes in too much. Thin, watery, and I would have welcomed something less offensive. Not good.

Better than the "special lager" only because it has more taste and a better aroma. Still not a whole lot on offer does have a nice finish though. Recommend this one over the other XX beer.

On Tap at Bubbs Grub BBQ Catalina AZ. Fresh golden pour with a nice head. Crisp refreshing bold. A great beer on a hot day. And it’s hot here in Az!

On tap. Clear amber with small off-white head. Taste is slightly roasted malt and some caramel.

12oz bottle. roasty darker body, skunky-banana nose. sweet, lagery metallic body. there is flavor in here, but not really good.

Poured from a 12oz bottle. Aroma is terrible, like Corona or something. Colour is a nice dark golden colour. Thin white head, minimal lacing. Flavour is better than most Mexican beers. Some roasty flavours. More depth in the flavour than most. Mouth feel is pretty watery. Overall one of the best Mexican beers I’ve tried, and its cinco de mayo so overall is a good evening.

12 oz bottle. Easily the better of the Dos Equis beers. Easy find in most supermakets and Mexican Restaurants. Smooth and easy. Good palate. Aroma and flavors are lacking in complexity. But extra credit for being consistent.
