Commercial Description:
The color of a Colorado sunset, this complex, garnet colored ale blends the nutty flavor of roasted barley with three varieties of hops to impart a rich malt flavor and hoppy finish. Medium-to-full bodied with dry, almost smokey characteristics, Sundance Amber is a very sophisticated brew.

bottle best by dec7/2009 sampled 10/14/2009. crystal clear amber colored pour with a substantial pale tan head (even after being opened and re-corked for 8 hours!). it smells of toffee, spice, dirty/earthy hops, malty sweet, toasted nuts and some herbal/grassy/green things. the flavor is the same... along with some wood, toasted nuts skins and spices with a dry parching finish. it is quite malty yet it is fairly well balanced with british-y hops which also linger into the aftertaste.... actually, it is a touch too sweet. medium bodied, prickly and pretty easy to drink. 7/3/6/3/14/3.3

Bottle pours coppery with an off white head. Aroma is caramel malt. Flavor is caramel malt, toast, and a lightly bitter finish

From old rating notes I recently found (no idea how long ago it was): 12oz bottle. amber-orange pour with thin head. muted aroma - dark fruit, caramel and light citrus. mild nutty malt and citrus hop mix in the flavor.

A reddish copper ale with a thin off white head. Again, a rather sweetish aroma, nut and cinnamon with some boiled veggies, no hops, a bit cloying overall. At Boulder Beer Tap House, DEN, August 28 2009.

The label reads "Necktar of the Vampires" and I am suspicious that this is simply relabeled sundance amber but whatever. This pours out a nice amber color with a perfect off-white head. Smell is malty as is the taste. Not much going on here but very drinkable and has a nice aftertaste of malt. I like the fact that they are supporting local arts.

Overall Impression: From an older rating, I have this beer down as being a solid and enjoyable Amber ale, but not overly exiting or memorable...

Medium hop aroma. Slightly darker than pale yellow, a little brownish orange in there. Mild dull hop taste and palate, very similar to bould pass time but with a little more bitterness. Better than nothing carbonation. Could possibly said to have a leather feel to it. Seems to be a much higher abv than the 4.8 listed here, I’d say more like 5.5% or more. Almost has enough personality to be called an IPA. Hoppily complex all right. Finish is not quite bitter medicine.
