Commercial Description:
Sundog is an ale whose amber color is as deep as the copper glow of a Lake Michigan sunset. Its Biscuit malt and Fuggle hops give it a toasty character and a subtle, malty sweetness. We believe Sundog is the deepest, richest amber you'll find anywhere.

Cloudy amber with a quickly evaporating off-white crown. Lively one. Aroma of grains, caramel, malt, funk and paint. Hmm. Taste of caramel, malt, and mild hops. Balanced with a sweet finish with a touch of bitterness. Not their best option.

Pours an orange red clear with medium off white head. Aroma is fruity, apples and grapes. Flavor is bland bitter. Palate is thin, lacking character. Ok beer but just boring to drink.

Bottled. Poured clear coppery-amber with a short-lived cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up toasted nutty notes, caramel, and a touch of sourdough bread topped by leafy hoppage.. smelled like it was going to be astringent. The flavor found caramel and a little honey at the core with leafy bitterness and spicy alcohol surrounding.. surprisingly hot for an amber.. finished with toasty caramel and sharp bitterness. Lighter-bodied and sharp as mentioned on the palate.. this didn’t seem infected, but it came across as possibly old (just bought it recently, but y’never know).

Bottle. Poured a brownish amber with an off-white head. Aroma was full of sweet malt notes but not much else. Flavor a bit more balanced as it began with sweet malts but had more of a citrus hop finish.

12 oz bottle. Pours amber with a white head. Sweet caramel aroma with citrus. Flavor is weak and grainy with toasted malts. Aroma is decent, but the flavor’s off for me.

12 oz bottle purchased as part of a beers of summer 10 pack at World Market. Pour is hazed orange copper with a one inch off white head. Aroma of softly sweet caramel maltiness, with a nice almond nutiness behind that. Nice warming nose. As the beer warmed to room temp, there was some soggy cardboard. Taste is the caramel malt with a grassy mineral grassiness behind that. The almond is present, nicely drying out the finish. Palate has a medium mouth feel with a high level of carbonation. The finish has a touch of cardboard, which detracts a bit. Overall, an easy drinking amber that started pretty nice and flattened out a bunch as it warmed. I am guessing this was not a terribly fresh bottle.
