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.

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.

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.

Nothing too impressive about this one. Some of my friends realy like it but I dont understand why. I probably wont ever have it again.
