Saranac Pale Ale
Beer-a-Day #8
This is one of those “go-to” beers. Nothing extreme, although it’s plenty hoppy. Nice amber color, off-white head, medium body, pleasantly balanced (to me, anyway).
This is one of those beers I can always count on.

Freshest Octoberfest

It doesn’t get much fresher than this… I grabbed some of the first Saranac Octoberfest beer from the brewery today. She even had to fetch them from the back. I think I need to get one in an ice water bath so I can have it tonight. Also note the cool ADK pint glass. My

Beer-a-Day #342 Our interpretation of a classic English beer style is copper-colored, medium-bodied and highly hopped. Its flavor is delightfully complex: tangy fruit at the start, with an assertive hop crispness and a long malty palate that one well-known beer writer has compared to the flavor of freshly-baked bread. Brown with some golden highlights and

Beer-a-Day #334 A Tröegs Brewery classic, our Pale Ale is copper colored with generous amounts of Cascade hops to create a floral, aromatic pale ale that smells as delicious as it tastes. Tröegs Pale Ale pairs nicely with Mediterranean foods, starches and anything with fresh herbs. The floral hop character also blends with cheesy dishes

Beer-a-Day #330 Our classic German lager has a perfect balance of caramel malt sweetness. Look for a rich, amber color and medium body. Pale amber with an off-white head; small bubbles. Slight earthy and peppery aroma. A little toastiness in the taste.

Saranac Black Forest

Beer-a-Day #329 A Bavarian black beer with distinctive carmel [sic] malt sweetness and rich creamy trademark head. Flavorful, yet smooth; it is very drinkable! Deep, dark brown with reddish-orange highlights. Caramel and malty. Fairly malty but not overly so, with more carbonation than I expected. Pretty good.

Barons Pale Ale

Beer-a-Day #321 This thirst quenching Barons Pale Ale uses the finest Australasian ingredients including Pacific Hallertau and Nelson Sauvin Hops. Best enjoyed icy cold. Pale with a yellowish-orange caste. I get a bit of lemon and caramel in the aroma. Medium body with just enough hops in the finish. I’m glad this made the trip

Beer-a-Day #295 Pours a pale straw golden with a moderate white head. A bright, crisp aroma of floral, pine, and citrus accompanied by a malt backbone. At first taste good hop bitterness presence that turns to slightly bready malt sweetness that finishes dry and clean with hop flavor that lingers letting you know you just
Saranac Pumpkin Ale

Beer-a-Day #270 Saranac Pumpkin Ale is brewed with Pumpkin, Cinnamon, Allspice, Cloves, Ginger and Vanilla. Look for a full-body and amber color. Golden brown and clear. The cinnamon and cloves dominate the aroma. Medium body and not overly sweet. Complex yet substantive. I like it.
