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.

Nice caramel color with an interesting malty aroma. Taste is largely the same with a little sugar and grain notes thrown in as well. A tad watery, but if this is the best thing on the menu I’ll get it without being too upset.

Good: Crisp and easy to drink. Had a dark beer after taste to it but a lager feel to it Bad: Felt very "hollow" which confused me when the dark after taste came through. Overall: I’ll try again I’m sure, but I wont go out of my way to do so.

Bottle from Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a nice looking clear amber with nice off-white head, good retention. Not much aroma, very faint caramel with a very light touch of maple. Flavor of faint caramel malt and hops, balanced. Mouthfeel is light with high carbonation...Over all, it is a tasty easy drinking beer....

Bottle 08’. Dont know how it ours or smells because i drank this out of the bottle as it was meant to be. Wet cardboard and light white noise hopping. NOt bad with queso and chips. I would never drink it solo unless desperate. But hey its summer and you do what you can.

I love it when the bottle says it’s one thing and ratebeer classifies it as something else. This beer isn’t as awesome as the Most Interesting Man, otherwise it’d have a beard and be badass.

Had this at the Prickly Pear in Mooresville. I guess it’s better than the regular one? Who knows. Dos Equis tends to disappoint unless I’m on a beach in Mexico. Word.
