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.

Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Malty with some caramle and biscuit notes. A bit grain y with some apple notes and spritz carbonation. A bit dull and grainy with a thin palate. Okay.

esjaygee (2496) - Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA - DEC 17, 2009
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.

kosko20 (348) - Bemidji, Minnesota, USA - DEC 13, 2009
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.

Ughsmash (5633) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - NOV 29, 2009
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).

deyholla (3154) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - NOV 24, 2009
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.
