Dos Equis Amber Lager from Cervecería Cuauhtémoc Moctezuma, S.A. de C.V.
Rating: C+
Poured into a wide wine glass. The bottle was free, so no complaints. As far as presentation, the brown bottle is nice.
Appearance: Pours a brown-bronze color with little head and no lacing.
Smell: To be honest, not picking up a whole lot here. A little malt toastiness, I suppose - nothing objectionable at least. Keeping in mind the style here...
Taste: Some toastiness, bitter on the finish. A bit mineral-ly, perhaps. Moderately bittered, but not bad. Finishes dry, which is always a plus for me.
Mouthfeel: Pretty light mouthfeel, but good carbonation - adds to drinkability, I'd have to say.
Drinkability: This isn't a great beer, but for washing down some Mexican food it's not bad. As far as "what to order at a Mexican restaurant?" if the choice is between this and Corona, there's no contest. Nothing to seek out on its own merits either, though.
Serving type: bottle
