new holland sundog amber ale
November 17th, 2007 by don
After my disappointment with the Arcadia, I was ready for a really good amber ale, so I decided to try the Sundog Amber Ale from New Holland brewery.
Again, I was disappointed. Despite what the label says, this beer tasted neither like the sun, nor like a dog. Why would you name a beer Sundog, and then have neither of those flavors present?
OK, I’m kidding about that last part. I was not disappointed in this one at all. It pours a cloudy amber color (hence the name). The flavor was very pleasing. Sweet and malty with a little breadiness thrown in, and with a touch of hops at the end. It’s low in carbonation and is smooth and goes down easy. It’s not too heavy and not too light; a nicely balanced beer.
