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.

Appearance: Pours an orangey-copper body with a small, white head. Smell: Plain pale malts with a slight citrus fruitinss. Taste: Pale malts, hint of nut, and with a fairly light sweetness. A jigger full of ruby red grapefruit juice. A tad watery midway. Light hop bitterness. A bit more fruit and then you’re rewarded with a dry finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation, somewhat fizzy. Drinkability: Not so great, really, but it is right cheap, I’ll give it that much.

Had this with my Dad on my 23rd Birthday. Overall was not that impressed had a ruff after taste was one of the better JW Dundees but still would grab a Rolling Rock over this one! The Honey lager was quite decent though I would drink that one again!

Clear golden brew, thick foamy white head. Aroma is grassy corn syrup, nothing unique. Bitter, astringent malty taste. After taste is like licking a copper penny.

From a 12-oz. bottle poured a mildly hazy amber-copper body with a nice little fluffy whitish head. Super lacing! Nose of sweet hops and grains. Taste of metal and sweet sticky hops. Nice smooth, rounded mouth feel. Mild hoppiness. Good sessionable beer. Nothing spectacular, but quite drinkable
