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

Pale brown, smells of fruits and malts. One of the best widely available Mexican beers--not that that is saying much. Tastes of light caramel and some nuttiness.

I have drank many a beer in my day, and only have rated a few on here. I’ve drank all domestic and most imported, tried it all. This is one of the worst beers I have ever tasted. The drive through I bought it from had it on sale because nobody would buy it. Raunchy, stomach wrenching taste, like a poorly crafter brown beer begging for death by sink drain. Smells like amber dog shit, taste like amber ASS. I’ve drank all imports I can get my hands on and this one made me sick. The taste was comparable to Irish Red but much much worse

The sign that brought me to this small eatery in cental Cozumel just off the square said..." Dollar Beers! 2 x 1 happy hour all day!" Now, at first it sounds great but then I realized that they wouldnt have Pilsner Urquell unfiltered on tap...I was in Mexico. So I endured and went with this for my late lunch early supper sensability. A light amber/copper. England v. Croatia in soccer... yeah this is the place I had that tecate light. Ugh. Damn the awesome tortilla chips and blazingl spicy salsa arrived, I dove in and numbed my tounge to oblivion. The chilled glasses are a nice touch though. A refreshing waterish body that looks nice in the glass mug.. I cant tell if it was the salsa or if the beer realy didnt taste like anything...This aint no octoberfest by a long mile.

Pale amber with a small white head. Fruit and caramel aroma. Sweet caramel flavour

12-oz. Pours a crystal clear dark amber with a loose scattering of tannish film across the top. Sweaty nose with bits of black pepper in there. Creamy lightish body. Some toasted malt, some doughy malt on the mid-palate. Nothing on the finish to keep them company. Now I know why they want you to stay thirsty, my friends--they’d feel bad if you weren’t in the mood to go drink something else after one of these.

Like the Special Lager, but a little darker, a little sweeter, and little more roasted.

12 oz bottle served in a clear pint glass. Pours is a rusty brown with 2 fingers of white head. Nose is malt, sugar, and light caramel. Taste is a little bland, kinda sweet. Not terrible actually, kinda of surprised. I could drink a few of these and not have bitter beer face.

355ml bottle. Coppery brown colour with a modest white ehad and good carbonation. Blandness to the aroma, some smoky notes coming through. Bitter burnt flavour and not very pleasant.
