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 copper color with very little head that disappears rather quickly. Light aromas of berries. Decent flavors of berries and nuts, but they are pretty weak. Mouthfeel is fizzy and finishes abruptly and dry. Eh not a very good beer but it’s better than the other Dos Equis.

Better than corona, but not great. Pretty average. It’s definitely worse than the commercial, lol.

Pours, well...amber. Thin head, goes down fast. There is some lacing however. Smells kinda strange. A little sour, almost like vinegar. I dunno, Mexican beers always smell kinda funny. Tastes pretty decent. It is similar to a Sam Adams, but not as good. Has the good balance between malt and hops as a Vienna should, but its a little thin and watery and has a hint of that sourness that’s in the smell. Fairly drinkable. I think that sourness might get to you after awhile. Overall better than many, not as good as some. For the style and for your money, just get a good ol Sam Adams.

Brown, almost no head. Berry scent with some sugars. Quite thin. Sweet. Toffee caramel and winter berries in the mouth but with an odd chlorine end.

Onslow (640) - Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA - APR 21, 2010
Pour from a 12oz bottle. Nice amber looking brew with a thin off white head. Weak but inoffensive lagerish aroma. Mild flavor with hints of sweet grain at the start with some slightly detectable hops in the finish. 32oz draghts are great for washing down Burritos Mexicali and that’s OK. Nothing special but not a vapid as some brews.

Most interesting man in the world’s preference in beer? He lost all credibility right there- no aroma noticeable, watered down body, tastes a little bit on the sour side . A little step up from corona but nothing special.
