Dundee Original Honey Brown Lager

Brewed by High Falls Brewing Company
Style: American Dark Lager
Rochester, New York USA

Pours yellow with a honey hue, small quickly receding white head. Small malt aroma. Light honey and malt flavors. Not up to par.

I can remember when I thought this was a "craft" beer. How far I have come...but I must admit I can still drink this ice cold honey laden beauty at any tailgate that occurs in warm weather. Sweet and malty with no hops. Not a beer for purists, but what the hell.

A tasting at Three Cellars Milwuakee. This is a great summer beer. Light on the honey and on the lighter side of a lager as well. Still very drinkable.

Golden yellow with thin white head. Weak aroma of honey and caramel. Taste of light honey, astringent, label a little misleading, at least on the brown part.

12 oz bottle into pint glass. Simple light beer appearance (except a little more red/copper), and palate. Aroma is best aspect. Smells like normal lager (malts) but with pleasant but faint sweet honey aroma accompanying it. Tastes like normal lager but with a slight honey tint that isn’t even up to par with the slight aroma. Highly drinkable thought and pretty refreshing. This stuff is considered high class at college though; and hey, it IS better than natty and keystone, so it will definitely do for now...

Pours a clear orange color with minimal head. Not much in the way of aroma and the flavor is fairly flat, but it’s not offensive by any means. Good pub beer.

Poured a darkish yellow with a medium head. Smelled slightly sweet, I’m guessing from the honey. The flavor was so-so, with the honey definitely helping. It seemed pretty bubbly and was definitely a very drinkable beer. The flavor was just too mediocre to want to have too many. On a side note, it was definitely a great beer for the price. $8 for a 12pack at Meijer (a Michigan-area grocery+ store). Seems like a pretty good deal.
