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.

Nice amber color,small off white head that had a short hang time then faded to leave littl behind.The aroma was lightly malty with a slight caramel side,The flavor was mild malt maybe a bit of a roasty side some caramel and a slight hop showing in the end.Definatley nothing special but it was worth a try.

Sept. 30, 2006; 12 oz. bottle. Like all the Dundee beers I’ve tried, this has an inviting color and tingles the tongue, but suffers from a lack of body. Aroma is almost sour. I feel the current 23 percentile rating is too low for this brew, though.

Nothing special. A fairly good beer, drinkable but boring. Unavoidable when you buy the multi-pack.

Bottle picked up at Majestic, Bicester, in a case that showcased three each of four types of beer from the brewery. Light amber coloured beer, some hops and malt on the aroma, which follow through into the taste. Pretty good but not the best of the four.

Very little aroma. Head is not good at all. The flavor also leaves a lot to be desired. Thin and grassy, no hops. Somre very light caramel malts. A very poor beer.
