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.

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.

Pour is light amber with small tan head. Aroma is strong of caramel and malt. Flavor is also full of caramel. Very smooth palate with a nice crisp finish. Not as bad as I thought it would be.
