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.

Average Amber lager... The aroma is a very slight hoppy aroma. Pours amber with small head. Flavor is average. Not a huge fan but I’ve had worse.

After having the IPA my hopes weren’t high but I was pleasantly surprised. The smell was nothing great and the body was light but the taste was very smooth and range in tastes - spohisticated. I found it a good balance between an affordable lager and a more specialized micro. A bit sweet.

Pours nice burnt orange color with barely off white head that dissipates very fast. Aroma is rather faint, flavor is better, mostly malty, with a better than expected mouthfeel. Really solid ambers are hard to come by, and while this one is no exception to that rule, I’ve had plenty about the same or worse that cost nearly twice as much.

Pours a nice looking amber with small white head. Some malt on the nose. Taste is some sweet malt with a small amount of hops. Great beer for the price.

Great color accompanied with light body. Very nice carbonation in glass. Easy drinking beer that may lack some flavor, although a hint of coffee spotted. Smooth palate taste to finish off. Solid Lager

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear copper color with an off white head that quickly fades to a sheen. Nice lacing. Malty sweet, grainy smell. Nicely carbonated with a full mouthfeel. Taste is caramel sweet malts and buttery. Finishes with a nicely bitter taste on the tongue. A decent beer at a bargain price of $4.00 a sixer. Oct 2004

12 oz bottle, 4.9% a/v Pours a deep and rich firey copper colour with a very nice tan head. The nose is very malty, and toasty with some caramel. The beer tastes for the most part malty though this is well balanced in the aftertaste. Overall nothing stands out, but its still better then average.
