Dundee American Pale Ale

Brewed by High Falls Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Rochester, New York USA

A great Pale Ale for the price ($4.99 a sixer). A great brew for someone who wants to step out of the norm and vary it up a little without breaking the bank. A great guzzler PA that I can’t get enough of. Also found in the JW Dundee’s Craft pack with Honey Brown and Amber Lager. An excellent offering.

Somewhere between golden in amber. Smells sweet and malty. Tastes a lot like Bass with a very dry finish. Pretty good for the price.

Poured from a bottle, sustained head, little lacing. Non-existent aroma. I don’t taste any malt, all sour/bitter hops with metallic sting. Not really impressed with this beer in any way.

I found this unimpressive, malt and hops are weak in character. A slight sweet after-taste. Not the best

Presentation: 12oz. bottle. All malt brew (it’s officially adjunct free), Dundee’s pale pours crystal clear copper. The head is pillowy and steady and leaves a decorative lace. Impressive and usually the mark of a quality brew. Aroma is faint initially but is awakened by a gentle swirl. It consists of hops primarily, displaying the Tomahawk, Amarillo and Cascade varieties. The malt lends a biscuity light caramel sweetness to the nose. The flavor first shows off its hop bitterness. Malt stays hidden until it warms a bit. As the temperature rises the flavors blend ideally. I recommend consuming at or near cellar temperature. Malt base sweetens and is quickly balanced by a hop profile that combines spicy, pine and citrus elements. A solid brew that has the hop bitterness nailed down. IMHO, a bit more hop aroma and flavor would push this beer to the next level but I’m enjoying it more and more each time I drink it. Good quality brew priced right, this is a good value for the buck. Looking forward to more of these type of offerings and perhaps some seasonal beers. How’s about an a$$ kickin IPA? Bring it on! Nice job overall by High Falls.

Pretty good grocery store beer. Six packs for $6 isn’t bad either. Nothing great about this, but the price is good and the flavor isn’t too bad either.

A clear copper-colored beer with a large & frothy, whitish head that slowly dwindled. Aromas started nice with spicy & peppery citrus over caramel malts, but then I caught a whiff or two of strong urine. Good balance to the flavor, weighing in a little heavier on the hoppy side of the fence.

Bottle. I really did not expect much from this beer and I was more than a little surprised. Aroma is quite hoppy, with floral overtones and a soapy, straw smell. Nice amber color with a medium, frothy, lasting head. The flavor is also quite hoppy, and if the only thing that suggests cheapness is the malt. It is a little too thin and slightly on the bready side. Otherwise, decent beer for the price.
