Commercial Description:
JW Dundee’s American Amber Lager has a complex malt character that is masterfully balanced by a distinct American Hop aroma and flavor. We use 5 different malts to create the complex malt flavor in this beer. We start with our 2 Row Pale Malt as our base and then add 4 different types of Crystal Malts. It is the combination of the four Crystal malts that define the complexity of the beer. Although the malt is showcased in this beer, the hops play an important part in the balance of flavors. We use Simcoe, Cascade, and Magnum hops to create the hop profile that balances the complex malt character. This balance creates a beer that has great depth of flavor while still being very drinkable. JW Dundee’s Amber Lager is flavorful enough to satisfy craft beer drinkers yet is still accessible to those looking to find a beer with a little more character than their normal beer.

Serving: 12 oz. bottle. Appearance: Clear amber color with a small, off-white head. Poor head retention. Aroma: Caramel, butterscotch, and apple notes. Flavor: Follows the nose with caramel, some butter notes and apple. Clearly some brewing errors here. Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium mouthfeel and a short finish. Overall: Pitiful. Not recommended.

Pours amber with a tan head. Smells of caramel, diacetyl, some fruity hints. Tastes fruity and buttery with some vegetal notes.

I couldnt even finish the bottle. All I could taste was a gross butterscotch flavor. It also smelled sort of like rotten apples.

Overall Impression: Another one of the beers from Dundee that was pretty boring, nothing memorable here, just a semi-decent beer.

Bottle. Pours a amber color with a decent head that fades. Taste is of caramel, malt and some hops. Fairly sweet with some bitterness. Similar aroma. A very nice beer, that is, satisfying, easy to drink and rather enjoyable.

Bottle. Pours a copper with a finger or so of dense head and aromas of caramel and apple juice. Flavor is a watery mix of caramel and apple juice concentrate. Life is too short to drink beer like this.

Amber color no head. Caramel and malt aroma. Flavor is weaker, watery taste. Nothing special, decent cheap beer.

Light amber in color. Slight caramel aroma with a light hop taste. Thin body. Weak in the taste.
