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.

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

Bottle (12oz). Clear mahogany pour, large tight foamy beige head. Sweet, mildly grassy aroma, reminds me corn syrup somehow. Taste - the caramel malt seems a little overly sugary - definitely tastes like Crown Brand corn syrup - some slightly burnt bitterness in the finish, wouldn’t call it hops though.. Watery syrupy mouthfeel - slightly harsh aftertaste, seems like burnt sugar water, actually. Neh.

Sample box split with BMan1113VR. Pours a copper color with no head. Nose is malty, metallic, bitter and of some sugar. Weak watery taste that is very bland and only consists of malt, metal, and a bit of bitterness.

Tasted with ilovedarkbeer. Pretty bad. Aroma is light malt with some copper. No real head, a nice clear copper body. Flavor is malt and water. Metallic and fizzy tasting.

A fluffy white head forms on top of a good looking amber pour. Sweet malty caramel aroma and flavor. Thin palate, but very drinkable.

Sweet, malty caramel aroma, slight floral hops also. Nice amber (DUH!) appearance, persistent white head. The taste has a caramel malt taste to it. Abrupt palate, with a very slight hop twinge. Not bad. Like all Dundee beers, definitely a good beer for the money.
