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.

Rerate 2.22.2008: 12oz bottle. not really an amber, more like a lager with a dry finish. not as good as i remembered. Draft at PJW. Poured an amber body with barely any head. The aroma was nice - the palate was smooth and luxurious. Easy brew to drink

Bottle. Light caramel aroma. Reddish tinged amber color with a white head that ringed rapidly. Medium bodied. Near creamy carbonation. The flavor is more like a pale lager, but there is some caramel. Possibly a small amount of bitter in the finish. Certainly much more flavorful than the sickly pale gold things that come in clear bottles.

Bottle @ the ChCh Mexican Cafe. Best thing going for it was how it looked. Uninspiring and 1 dimensional.

Draught Amber pour with minimal head and lacing. Very light aroma, most of the aroma is the lime placed on the pint glass by the bartender. Same with the flavor. There’s not much to this beer, but it’s the best draught at a lot of restaurants, and that’s the only reason I would drink it.

Much better than Corona, MUCH better than Dos Equis. Nice reddish color. Almost like a Marzen.

Originally tasted mulitple times. Added to my RB list to check "Mexico" as a beer country consumed. A constant with Mexican dinner. Ruddy amber color with a fair amount of head. Aromas whisper of nuttiness. Mild mouthfeel.

Pours maroonish amber, with basically no head. Smell is almost non-existant, but a bit metallic and light malt. Taste is actually ok, but mostly malty and no hops at all really. Pretty watery, and thin flavored with some malt and high carbonation. Easy to drink, refreshing, I suppose, and better than regular dos equis in the sense that it doesn’t have any skunky or off flavors, but rather just very lightly flavored. Decent and drinkable, but not one to seek out.

This beer is short on flavor, aroma, craftsmanship and interest and long on fans who think it is an exotic and special beer. Aside from watering the steps, this brew is only good for keeping an American macro out of your hands if those are the only other beers at the party.
