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.

Amber in color, generous white head, nice lacing around the glass, a bit of hops in the nose with a touch of sweet malt, medium in body, fairly smooth & drinkable, slight caramel in the flavor balanced with a touch of hops, pretty average amber lager

Pours a nice medium amber color. Aromas of malts/caramel. Flavor is a little bland with a sweet caramel taste.

A regional beer, I tried it as part of a holiday pack. It has a pleasant smell and is fairly smooth, leaving very little after taste.

Bottle from the heavily pushed "combo pack" featuring some other wonderful Dundee craft ales. Pours as expected with the light amberish color a fluffy white head. That’s where the fun ends. Bready, cheap caramelly aroma is not something I like. Some hop bitterness attempts to counter this faux-maltiness, but fails miserably. Heck, the most complex thing about this ale was opening the package. Unless someone is handing this out for free I don’t see the need to buy it.

This was actually better then i had anticipated. It’s a pretty solid lager. Good malts, fairly smooth. It was cheap too.

out of a bottle, as the name inplies this beer is amber in color with a nice off white head. very average amber lager. not very complex in the flavor department. kinda reminds me of newcastle. this beer is 4.99 a six pack in maine. so for the price it is not bad at all. highly recomended for someone on a tight budget who does not want a macro. overall an average beer

BottlePours a clear deep medium amber with a nice creamy off white head. Heavy persistant lacing. Typical lager aroma. Cereal, light grains, wet paper and very littel hops. Flavors were similar. More bitter than I expected and a sweet maltiness, like honey maybe. Nice body. Lingering bitter note that is not exactly pleasant.
