Commercial Description:
JW Dundee’s American Pale Ale brewed true to style with a complex hop aroma, flavor and bitterness. We brew this American Pale Ale with Cascade, Tomahawk and Amarillo hops to create the hop profile that defines the beers character. This combination of hops creates a complex citrus hop aroma, deep flavor and a long crisp bitterness. The interaction of the different varieties gives both depth and complexity to the Pale Ale. Although the malt character is subdued, it plays an important role in balancing the hop complexity and keeps the beer from being one-dimensional. We use our 2 Row Pale Malt with a 60º Lovibond Caramel malt to give the perfect base for our hops. These malts give the beer its light malty flavor and orangey amber hue.

Presentation: Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass glass. It pours with a thin foamy off white head that fades to just a small ring around the edge of the glass. The color of the beer itself is a bright golden color with great clarity. The aroma has just a light aromatic and citrus hops nose. It starts off with sweet bready malts and light grain up front that turns to a thin herbal and leafy hops flavor with a touch of citrus in the middle. The finish is mildly bitter and fades out nicely. On the palate it has a smooth yet thin texture with mild carbonation and a light to medium body. Overall it has a good drinkability with an average flavor.

Bottle. A clear, golden beer with a small, creamy beige head. Hoppy nose with pine, tending towards fluor, as well as a full maltyness. Malty and sweet flavor with beef-stock notes and a good dash of piney hops to balance to, rather than overpowering it as I more or less expected. Full to medium body and a long, piney finish. A beer on the hoppy side, but more balanced than many APA’s, and quite low on bitterness. Easy to drink and quenching. (080412)

This American Pale pours a medium copper color from a 12oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is caramel and sweet, some floral hops. A medium to light bodied American Pale Ale. The malts are caramel and sweet. The hops are citrusy and floral. It’s a little thin and watery. The hops could be a little more assertive. Lively carbonation, in fact there is some of that carbonic acid/club soda flavor here as well. Mouthfeel is a touch thin. The finish is crisp and clean. The aftertaste is slightly bitter.
