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.

gunnar (2281) - Sandnes, NORWAY - NOV 25, 2011
Bottle from Vaaland, Bryne. Pours clear mahogany with a moderate sized off-white head.Aroma of sweet caramel. Taste is good malty caramel, with a watery mouthfeel. Dull and easy forgotten.

kjohns (73) - North Dakota, USA - NOV 23, 2011
Amber pour with minimal head and no lacing. Mild sweet malty caramel aroma. Taste is much the same, sweet with some corn and grain flavor and very little to no hoppiness. Mehhh, it’s ok but nothing special. Definitely better than a Bud or Miller or Coors product and probably would pair pretty well with Mexican food.

Sigmund (3495) - Hafrsfjord, NORWAY - NOV 23, 2011
330 ml bottle, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 4.5%. Copper to amber colour, moderate white head. Moderate aroma, some fruit, grass and caramel. The flavour is at least more malty than the Especial, a little fruit and caramel again, but is otherwise rather bland and boring, with minimal hops.

ADesenberg (135) - Ohio, USA - NOV 20, 2011
Bottle: pours a copper color with a very small white head that quickly dissapates. It has a very sweet aroma that translates into the flavor which is just as sweet.

Lightrider (44) - Bristol, Pennsylvania, USA - NOV 20, 2011
UPDATED: NOV 21, 2011 Very clean taste, but not a lot of flavor. Color is light brown with a little head. Its ok but not on the high side of the curve. But next to the big boys like bud or coors its a god.

fiercepanda (258) - Missouri, USA - NOV 18, 2011
A red amber beer with a small soapy head. The aroma is grain, corn, and a little nutty. The flavor is weak caramel amber with corn and grain. Not terrible, but not all that enjoyable either.

teddybeer (572) - Madrid, SPAIN - NOV 10, 2011
33cl bottle. Reddish with tan head, persistence medium-low. Aroma is moderate toasted malts and brown sugar. Flavour is slightly bittery with a watery final. Carbonation is medium-soft. Body is light to medium. Better that I could expect.
