(Bottle) Reddish amber colour with brief, foamy, tan head. Malty nose with notes of caramel, crisp-bread, toffee, nuts, dried fruit and orange peel. Malty taste with caramel, treacle-toffee, dark bread, dried fruit, nuts, orange peel and a mild dusty bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with slight sweetness. Fairly bland, but decently drinkable. Enjoyable.

Draft at Shorty's Perfectly clear light amber in color without much of a head on it by the time it got to the table. Malty bready pilsner with hints of earth spice and fruit. Not bad with refried beans.

Not terrible, offering up a decent amount of flavor for a Mexican Vienna lager (always seems a little weird writing that). Caramel, dough, and toasted grain are set against mild lemon and corn notes, with a biscuity finish dusted with floral bitterness. Considering the other draft choices at the local Mexican restaurant, I guess Dos Equis Amber wins by default.
