Dos Equis Amber

6/10/04 at the bar 820, already had a pisco sour, and this is the only beer on tap. I inhaled the Pisco Sour, even though it wasn't as good as the ones in La Paz (not by a long shot, even with pisco instead of singani). So I figure I shouldn't waste the opportunity, and order a Dos Equis Amber. It is fairly light for an amber, and not very sweet. The mouth feel is toward the back of the palette. The beer has citrus notes, which are very subtle, and are most apparent in the nose. The start is bright and crisp, which is a little strange for an amber. Overall this is not the best beer, instead it is average at best. It has a tang reminiscent of many macrobrews, a rather unpleasant association. The body is pretty thin, especially for an amber.

WDTB? People in Mexican restaurants. People who wish they were in Mexican restaurants. Hispanophiles (you know the type. The people, usually women, who really get into Hispanic culture, they speak Spanish, they are constantly flitting of south of the border, they almost exclusively date Latinos)

WSDTB? People who want to hook up with Hispanophiles.
