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.

Bottle. Crisp, light amber color. This bottle was slightly skunky, which started to overpower the sweet malty smell. Very tart! Not my favorite, but it was decent - would be willing to give it another chance, as I suspect that it wouldn’t be awful if it weren’t skunked.

Wow this actually pours with a thick creamy head, the exact opposite of their Honey Brown. But that was the end of that. Now on to slamming. TO claim that you use 3 types of hops to make a beer is great but if you cnat tell that you have used said hops is bad and really does not make much sense, then again they dont really say how much of the 3 hops they use, based on the taste not much. The dominate flavor here is the sticky sweet crystal malts. It boils down to this being a very average amber ale, er lager, er whatever.

Smells of metal with faint malts. Pours a nice amber color. Taste is caramel malts with a faint hops. Not too dry on the finish. Overall a good beer I would drink again and again.

Light coper color. White, bubbly head. Spciy, fruity. Nice after taste. I would drink this again. A little bit sweet. Drank this against two german lagers and it was the best.

Pours a dark golden more than an amber. Big off-white head that seems to stick around. Mild aroma of sweet malt and spicy hops. Crisp, lightly sweet maltiness in the taste along with some hop flower bitterness. Run of the mill regional making the transition to psuedo-micro. Actually, this beer tastes like a lower ABV version of the pale bock they offer.
