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.

Light Amber pour with a white head. 32oz draft. Aroma is sweet and malty. Flavor follows this, light malt with some cardboardy aftertaste. it was cold, which tripled its value to me at the time.

A 12 oz bottle. the beer poured a amber body with a small cream head. the smell is sweet and malty. The taste like it was warm even though its cold and somewhat of a bitter aftertaste. good carbonation.

Dark amber/cider color; Medium body; Aroma of malt and dry fruit; Flavor of roasted malt, caramel, and very light hops; Aftertaste is a bit sour - but not that bad; Probably one of the better Mexican brews for me.

This is my go to Mexican food beer. Is it world class? Nope. Is it completely drinkable? Absolutely. There is not much to the aroma. Taste is slightly bitter and maybe a little sour. There is a little roasted malt pleasantness going on. The beer leaves a decent taste on the palate that is pleasing enough to order it every time you go out for carnitas. What more could one ask for?

Pours a clear amber with little head. It tastes of rich malted barley and a faint hint of hops, although the taste is relatively mild. It has a thin mouthfeel which detracts from the taste of the beer, but it’s a tolerable beer.

Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Pours a clear, light amber color with a foamy, slightly off-white head. Okay head retention. Aroma: Light nose with malt and grain notes. I didn’t get much on the hop side. Flavor: Some grainy sweetness, slight caramel note, and a slight back bitterness that helps even things a bit. Palate: Medium-high carbonation with a medium-light mouthfeel and a medium-short finish. Overall: It really isn’t that bad all things considered. I will usually make this my go to at Mexican restaurants.

12 oz. bottle. Pours obviously an amber color with a light off-white head. Aroma of roasted malts, slightly nutty flavor. Light to medium bodied. I don’t always drink beer...well, actually I almost always drink beer.
