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.

BottlePours a clear deep medium amber with a nice creamy off white head. Heavy persistant lacing. Typical lager aroma. Cereal, light grains, wet paper and very littel hops. Flavors were similar. More bitter than I expected and a sweet maltiness, like honey maybe. Nice body. Lingering bitter note that is not exactly pleasant.

Pour is a nice amber. Aroma is hops and a bit of malt. Flavor is hops but it does not really stand out. Good hops for a "lager". About the same as their pale ale but without the strong hops flavor.

2004 bottle. Decants a light amber-brown with a small white head. Aroma of corn syrup, sourness, um that’s about it. Flavor is sour and has a high carbonation. No real sweetness to this, prety adjunct ridden. Body is peppered with overcarbonation. I could actually pick this out as a lager blind, I think, so that’s a plus.

Appealing sweetish amber colored lager, with a dense head. Caramelized malts and a hint of cocoa round out a light, slightly carbonic palate. Fairly pleasing.
