JW Dundees Original Honey Brown Lager

so good. a great lager that stands on its own. but add in a light honey taste that’s not too overbearing, and you have a masterpiece. this is by no means a bitch beer.

Bottle from sample pack. I haven’t had this beer in years. Pours a dark gold with 3 finger white head and spotty lacing. Nose is malt and faint honey. Taste is sweet corn, malt a touch of honey with a very mild hop bitterness in the finish. Not as sweet as I remember which is a very good thing. Lighter mouth feel.

JW Dundee’s Original Honey Brown Lager is a clear, sparkling golden lager with a thin white film of a head. The aroma is faint; sweet and tangy from light grain and honey. It’s pretty light bodied and reasonably smooth. It’s a bit watery and quite bubbly. The finish is crisp. It has a very mellow flavor-- smooth and a bit sweet. Light grain and honey are abundant and there is hardly any bitterness. It’s a very unoffensive session ale that I would drink on purpose.

Appearance: Pours a clear copper body with a small, fizzy, white head. Smell: Some florals, some apples, even some chemical-based honey. Taste: No real clear-cut maltiness, but you do get a taste of apple juice sweetened with an addition of corn syrup. Very light floral hoppiness but no real bitterness. Slight chemically astringency near the finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Bleh! I’m slowly working my way through the JW Dundee’s Box of Horrors, and this one, so far, is the worst of the lot. Again: bleh!

Crystal clear pale yellow brew. Looks more honey then brown. Honey sweet corn syrup aroma. Flavor is watery, honey. Very fizzy and light bodied.
