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) Pours an amber color with a small white head. Light aroma of caramel and toffee malt notes. Taste is toasted, and slightly watery. Moderate to high carbonation and medium mouthfeel. A little bit too sweet for my tastes, but a good session beer... especially for introducing non-craft drinkers to the style.

Bottle from Jungle Jim’s. Poured clear golden color with an average frothy off-white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate roasted malt aroma. Medium body. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Sweet drinkable beer.

Pours a dark amber with a thick head and nice lacing. Smells malty. Taste is malty and sweet. Mouthfeel is crisp and dry. A pretty good amber lager.

Pours a dark amber colour with a white head. The aroma was like toasted almonds. I don’t know what toasted almonds smell like but I bet they smell like this beer. Malty flavor. Pretty good but not great. I drank this out of a lager glass

Bottle poured into pint glass. Clear copper colour, tan film and big carbonation. Decent lacing. Malty aroma and flavour was hoppy. Metallic bittereness that lasts awhile. Average nothing special.

Nice amber-orange color with a lot of whitish head. Mild aroma with some citrus notes. Lots of carbonation. Medium hoppiness with a tinge of cloves and a metallic aftertaste. Good stuff.

Bottle from the Craft pack. Poured a clear amber colour. Good light head, with malty aromas with some butterscotch. The aftertaste is malt flavor with a little roastiness. There is a dry fisnish, smooth and easy drinking.
