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.

Dark amber color. Taste was a pleasant malt. Mouthfeel was weak and watery.

Very Carmely and not really my thing. Definitely not a beer you’d drink a lot of in a sitting. Probably won’t try this again but don’t have any hard feelings towards it.

Always heard a lot about Dos Equis. Boring, and unmemorable. Decent, drinkable, mexican beer. Maybe add another equis.

22oz draught. Pours a dark amber color with a thin off-white head that settles quickly. Little lacing. Aroma is faint, perhaps some malt, some grass, hops. Flavor is faint as well with just some notes of sweet malt and grass. Quick finish with a little bitterness.

Solid if not very interesting. Pours a clear amber color with minimal head. LIght malt aroma and taste. Mildly bitter at end. NOt bad.

Copper color that is suppose to resemble a vienna lager but I can’t compare since a real vienna lager is hard to find these days. Small white head with a light malty taste. One of the better Mexican beers.
