JW Dundee's Amber Lager
Beautiful looking beer. Pours a deep reddish amber with a thick, fluffy, dimpled head that is constantly being replenished by the great amount of active carbonation found in the body. Leaves some raised merengue-like lacing. Aromas bring forth caramel, light herbal hops, and toasted malts, but an odd metallic tinge seems to show up too much. Flavor is very much like the smell, although the metallic note only shows up for a brief spot in a finish and then it's gone. Hops come out more in the flavor, complimenting the caramel malts rather well, and leaving a subdued but worthy bitterness. Some grain huskiness in the finish is found, but it seems to work. Mouthfeel has a bit of weight from the residual sweetness, but the carbonation is great. This is a solid amber lager and I am not disappointed.
