Dos Equis XX Amber

Brewed by FEMSA
Style: American Dark Lager
Monterrey/Veracruz-Llave, Mexico

This beer is pretty much the same as the other Dos Equis with the execrable taste of burnt malt thrown in to induce vomiting. I definitely prefer the other one.

Pours a medium copper color into the shaker with a small white head. Scents of malt, spices and some dried fruit. Tastes of the same. Rather weak, thin palate and light mouthfeel.

On tap at Champps in Eden Prairie. Sweet malt with some caramel. Fairly thin. Along the lines of Michelob Amber Bock.

Appearance: Pours a crystal clear, medium copper body with a small, wispy white head. Lightly bubbly. Smell: Mild toasted malt character with a very vague fruitiness. Taste: Light toasted maltiness with a subtle sweetness. Tiny hint of apple. No trace of hops whatsoever. Sweetish finish. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: I wouldn’t stand up on a chair and cheer about it, but it’s not altogether terrible, actually.

On tap at local restaraunt. Golden/orange amber color with no head. Faint malty aroma and taste with a crisp finish. Not great.

azteca in bremerton, washington on draft. dark brown with a little white head. smell is a typical amber smell. taste is alright, nothing to write home about, malt and a bit of caramel.

Bottle. Makes me happy for the locals that there is apparently something else to drink in Mexico apart from Corona. Still not great, but decent maltiness and some apple fruitiness, if a bit watery.

a semi-sweet ale with a rather light taste. It wasn’t as full as i’d expected but a good beer nonetheless.
