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.

Pours orange tinged red into a shaker. Off-white micro head with good retention recedes to coat rim. Sourdough toast and caramel aromas. Thin with sweet malt upfront turning to sour apple bread in the lasting finish.

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.

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.

Bright amber. Rotting fruit on the nose with some caramel. Light body. Light caramel taste, with some crackery notes. Tough to choke back a glass of this uninspired lameness, yo.

bottle - Pours clear amber with a thin white head. It has a sweet caramel malt aroma. The flavor is pretty sweet as well but along with the caramel malt has some light, hoppy fruitiness. It’s light to medium bodied and has some bitterness in the finish. It’s a pretty good session brew.

12 oz bottle from Supermarket Liquors, Cheyenne, WY; Nose very malty with caramel, nuts, and even a coffee hint; clear copper with a medium beige head; flavor has lots of caramelly nuts, caramel, and a hint of coffee, vanilla, and bitterness; pretty good amber.

Draft at the brewpub. An amber beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of fruit - too light for my liking. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel as well as light notes of fruit, leading to a slightly bitter finish. OK, but nothing special.
