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.

I did NOT like this beer. I was out at a bar watching the Red Wings game, and this was on special, and i can definitly see why. very skunky, even more so than budweiser or miller. Just gross.

Drake (4803) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - MAY 29, 2008
UPDATED: MAY 30, 2008 Bottle from WFM Charlottesville. Pours orange-brown with a big head and decent retention. Skunky, sweaty malt aroma. Sweet, malty taste. Very corny. Very watery. This was my favorite beer when I was twelve.

mansquito (1607) - washington, Washington DC, USA - MAY 29, 2008
Pours amber color with an ok head. Nose is malty with a little sweetness. Taste is smooth; it ain’t very complex at all, but absolutely inoffensive. Body is not completely thin. Malt taste in there. Tiny bit of sweetness.

lithy (2913) - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 29, 2008
Caramel color with a quickly disappearing white head. Smooth and malty with a caramel nose. The taste is more like a smooth lager with a sweet malt finish. Nice clean drink. Decent as far as these big names go.

spikester (602) - Salem, Oregon, USA - MAY 29, 2008
UPDATED: JAN 16, 2009 Dark amber pour with modest white head, some lacings. Taste is roasted malts, some bitter hops. Good alternative to American macros. Some actual flavor here. A little corny. Some yeast funk. No skunk though. Good session macro or with a Mexican meal.

Bottle. Pours amber with an off white head. Sweet malt aroma, caramel mostly. Medium body. Flavor is lightly sweet with caramel and candied sugar. Much better than I expected.

Wow, how have i not already rated this!? Slight malt, but still typical mexican macro lager aroma, and flavour. No hops to speak of, i guess it might be good mowing the lawn and really cold. meh...........

12 oz Bottle. Darker than I remember, with much more aroma than a typical cervesa. Light body, with a richer malt flavor than I expected. It finishes with a slight off taste, typical of Mexican beers.
