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. Very, very weak in flavor-- I almost thought I was drinking water. I’m not a big amber fan, but why drink this if Fat Tire is available? Disappoining.

Not that amber looking…more of a dark golden hue. No head what so ever. Crisp with back notes of caramel. Also some lager like grassy notes on the back end. Smooth and creamy actually turns into dry and crisp by the time I swallow. It’s ok. I like the Red Tulip Amber much more.

33 cl bottle, Sault Ste Marie, MI. Amber colour, faint malt aroma with some forward hops. Almost creamy smooth on the first sip with a nice hop bite, and crisp finish. Very nice.

I was shopping and found this while shopping for some other brand. I was impressed. It compares favorably to more well known micro beers.

Bottle. Dark amber pour. Small white head. Nose is hoppy but sweet. Some fruit notes, hops, sweet malts, and spicy notes. The taste is made up of more spicy and earthy hops, light citrus, dried fruit, sweet malts, and light caramel. Body is medium with moderate carbonation. Chewy in spots. Ends with more spicy and earthy hops, soft citrus, fruits, caramel, and some nuttiness.
