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.

Pours nice caramel color, with light beige head. Very sweet aroma, hint of honey. Flavor is not bad just weak, sweet caramel and brown sugar. Body is very light and watery.

Bottle while on honeymoon in Cancun. When I ordered a Negra Modelo, the waiter brought me this bottle with a paper towel wrapped around it, on which, he had written in crayon "Negra Modelo". So even though it wasn’t what I had expected, I gained another rating. Poured a pale clear amber with good light tan head. Corn and toasted grain. Medium light body with high carbonation. Grainy aftertaste. Not a Negra substitute.

Sampled on draught at Carlos O’Kelley’s restaurant in Fairfax, VA. Pours a fine, clear amber with a medium white head. Aroma has some caramel in it, with dry seltzer water hops, like its brother Dos Equis lager. Works very well with spicy mexican food, beans, chips and the like. Paired with food, this is not a bad choice. But certainly not something a conniseur would drink. Decent beer.

12 oz straight from the bottle. Cringed as I popped the top off, anticipating the filth that lay before me. Slowly I tipped my head back, drowning my boredom with sip after sip of a poor excuse of a cardboard flavored beer. Note to my mother’s friends: next time you bring this beer with you for a dinner party, remember to either A. drink it all, or B. take it with you. Thanks
