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.

Pours a clear dark amber with a slight head. No lacing. Well balanced and crisp with a slight tartness in the finish. Easy drinking lawnmower beer.

Bottle served in a lager glass. Pours clear dark amber-brown-orange with a short head that vanishes so quick I didn’t get the color. Nothing to note yet aside from it having some color. Aroma is like a pale lager with a vague hint of malt, spice, and skunk. Hardly rich nor full bodied, as advertised. A little fizz on the tongue followed by artificial sweet caramel flavor. Why would the most interesting man in the world drink this?

from a bottle, tinny taste and aftertaste, weak and hard to get down. color is clear amber. the palate is watery . overall a terrible beer.

Dos Equis Amber has a thick, frothy, off-white head and a pretty and very clear amber appearance. Carbonation is moderate to high and lacing is minimal. The aroma is a pleasant bready and malty smell; very appetizing. The taste is quite good- a nice barley and hop balance. This is a mild lager. Mouth-feel is light and watery, and Dos Equis Amber finishes crisp and refreshing, but not too dry. Overall, I really enjoyed having this with my steak fajitas. I certainly would have this beer again and will recommend it to others. RJT

Much better than many of the pale lagers of Mexico. I don’t get too excited about this but it is not bad. Serving: Bottle

bottle. Pours clear dark ruby with off white head. Nothing going on with the aroma, some slight sweet malt, although this beer is really meant to be drank straight out of the bottle anyway. Pretty crisp and refreshing, maybe slight dark fruit presence, but no stand out or dominating flavors. Still, no bad flavors, and overall this is one of the better mexican cantina beers, good for going out and getting food, a step above most other mexicans. Outside of that context I would rarely drink this beer.
