2.5 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
bottle: pint glass: actually not so terrible... pours a dark copper leaving a thick head ring. Nose is all malts, some metallic... the taste is again malts, roasted and sweet... seems to be a decent amount of sugars in here. Easily drinkable although I don’t know how many I could actually throw back.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
UPDATED: SEP 26, 2009 Bottle. 4.7%. Clear amber pour with a fair white head, decent retention. Aroma is very sweet, malty. Taste is caramel, roasted almonds, and sweet malts, finish is very dry and grainy. Mouthfeel is quite good. I quite enjoyed this.

2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Amber colored pour with a decent sized head. Aroma of malts. Flavor is nutty and not bad, just a little watered down.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
330ml bottle. Pours dark amber with soapy head. Caramel aroma, initial taste is also caramel with a wee bit of a roasted nutty taste to it. Finish is somewhat watery just like the Dos Equis Lager which I had previous to this. Better than the lager but still a little below average.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pour is dark copperish with red hues and a minimal head formation. Aroma is faintly grassy and malty. Taste is medium-bodied with a biscuit malt sweetness and subtle caramel balance. Hard to detect the hops in this brew which is never a good sign. Finishes with little to no fanfare and with a mildly skunky bite, similar to a George Killian’s. And it’s Ambar*, not Amber.
1.5 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle, amber coloured beer with a white head on it. The smell is light sweet, yeasty and light grainy, but is very weak and too light. It has a better taste than the XX Lager Beer, but is not very well balanced with a shell-fruitedf, sweet amber taste, light grainy and without finish.

For some reason, I always pass over dos equis, but I bought a case for the first time recently, and I like it. Great amber color, white head, no real aroma, but when it’s nice and icy cold, you certainly can’t do better for the price :)

We’ve all had it a million times. It’s better than regular XX but not all that super special, ya know?
