Commentary: Well, rats. This is a disappointment. I really had high hopes for this one. Maybe it was because of the cool label, I don't know. Anyway, I am not impressed.I figured there might be a problem with this one when I wasn't able to detect any aroma at all after opening the bottle. Nothing. Not an unpleasant aroma. Just no aroma at all. How is that possible? Even after pouring it in the glass I could barely detect an aroma. Not a good start.
It produced an okay head when poured, but it didn't stick around very long. Maybe even the brew itself knew this wasn't going to be it's best day and was just trying to get things over with quickly by letting the head dissipate.
The brew has a somewhat medicinal flavor. This dog has a small bite to begin with, and it quickly tucks its tail between its legs and hurries away. There's no creaminess here at all. The flavor, like the bite, doesn't linger. It fades quickly, but I guess that's okay since this isn't a memorable brew anyway.
The carbonation was okay to start with, but it fades fast in the glass. The bubbles were large while they lasted. Halfway through the glass and it is already starting to taste watered down since the carbonation is almost completely gone.
As you may have guessed by now, I was not impressed with Sea Dog. In the words of my good friend, Randy Jackson, I'll have to say, "This one was just alright for me, dog." And that's being generous simply because I like the label. This one gets a score of..........................................67.
Was this one a dog for you, too?
