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.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a dark amber color. Aroma of light sweet malts with a similar taste. Pretty smooth finish, a good Mexican beer.

Bungalo22 (326) - Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA - APR 18, 2008
Draft pours a darker amber color. Smells of malt and a slight bit of carmel like extract. It was smooth and blanaced but it felt a bit unnatural in flavor almost as if there was flavoring additives. It was better than most other Mexican majors I have had to this point, thoigh when actually in Meixco I can’t imagine this would be as enjoyable.

jjuf1853 (956) - Land O Lakes, Florida, USA - APR 16, 2008
Draft pours a dark amber with a medium head. Aroma is mostly sweet and malty. Flavor is more of the same with a hint of hops. Goes down smooth and easy and goes great with chicken enchiladas.

scooterbub (534) - Lander, Wyoming, USA - APR 12, 2008
Bottle. Pours a amber/copper color with a thin off white head. Aroma is of caramel and malt. Taste is the same, but less exciting and a little bitter. Fairly watery. A passable beer, but for the price I’d rather go with something else.

davidpl (435) - Santiago, CHILE - APR 11, 2008
Appearance: amber copper color. Little to medium head with ivory color. Aroma: caramel, sugar and maybe to ripe fruits. Flavor: caramel malts start, lightly sweet. Slight hops, sugar, stone-peaches, toast and honey notes. Candy aftertaste. Palate: light to medium body and medium carbonation. Mediocre.

UPDATED: JUL 8, 2008 I’d say this is a little better than your average Mexican beer. It pours a dark amber color however tastes a lot lighter than it looks. Watery at times. Easy drinking though and refreshing enough. I’d be curious to do a taste test with this and, I don’t know, almost any other Mexican beer and see if there’s a difference.

BMan1113VR (6146) - Los Angeles, California, USA - APR 7, 2008
Pours with a small, fizzy, off-white head covering a clear amber-brown body. Aroma of grass, cheap malts and some vinegar. Taste is weak and watery, a bit malty and salty. Dry-fizzy mouthfeel.

SuperDave (1934) - Beautiful Sunny Mesa, Arizona, USA - APR 5, 2008
One of the better Mexican macro brews. I would take this or a Pacifico over mast anything else. There is a nice light maltiness that is missing in the others.
