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)

Weak aroma of wheat, grapefruit, and honey. Clear copper, with a thin vanishing tan head. Dried leaf, grain, and pine needle flavor, very dry. Definite honey finish. Watery mouthfeel, but honey notes are a nice touch.

Lightly roasted malt aroma. Dark amber clear pour, with a thin yellow head, good lace. Metallic sour malt. Grain on the palate. Too sour for the style, but I don’t mind it. Not very balanced, but not a bad every day beer, especially in the spring.

Mildly buttery caramel aroma. Orange colored, no head. Grainy flavor with a slight orange tang. Lemon grass finish.

The best of JW Dundees. Great Price at $5 and change for a 6pack. Pours wiht an off-white, rocky head covering a clear amber body. Good lacing. Fruity aroma with vanilla and almost burbon in there. Tastee is bitter with vanilla undertones, but the balance is messed up. Tastes a bit like a baby, watered down barely wine. Fizzy mouthfeel.
