Dos Equis Amber

I went out to a delicious cocina known as Casa Blanca tonight with my friends Kenny and Clay. We love going to this place for their affordable and well priced Mexican fare. But the one thing that they do well, VERY well, is booze. They make a killer margherita, but I wanted to try something a little less heavy for the evening. I love their ad campaign, they drink it in Achewood...I ordered a tall mug of Dos Equis Amber.

Dos Equis Amber is a smooth beer. I was surprised at first. It's dark color made me expect something with a lot more bite. It was served in a MASSIVE glass mug with a single quarter slice of lime. I squeezed the lime into the mug, wishing I had a 2nd lime. I took a sip, and took another and another. It wasn't quite as zesty as lighter beers (see: Corona w/lime and Miller Chill), but it was damn smooth. The lime slice was welcome, I don't think it would have been nearly as smooth without it, depite the citrus zing.

If you like a little citrus in your beer, you're probably drinking Corona w/lime, Miller Chill, Bud Light Lime or Blue Moon already, but give a mug of Dos Equis Amber a shot. I always prefer beer draught, but if you can only get it in a bottle, insist on a lime.

"I don't always drink beer, but when I do I prefer Dos Equis."

He really is the most interesting man alive.
