Saranac Season’s Best
Beer-a-Day #332 
Brewed with a special blend of domestic and Belgian malts for a delicate nut-like character, you’ll love this Lager’s rich taste and signature hop aroma. The exceptional full-bodied taste reflects our Brewery’s extraordinary commitment to brewing beers of the highest standard of quality.
Medium-dark brown and clear. Rich aroma with a good bit of nuttiness. The flavor matches the aroma. I never would have pegged this as a lager. It’s good.

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 #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.

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.

Beer-a-Day #250 The cap says: “Without hops the world stops” We’re back to sweltering summer weather, but that little chill we had last week is a reminder that autumn is just around the corner. My favorite season. It’s the color of dried apricot. Head is off-white with some staying power. Nice big grassy hop aroma.

Beer-a-Day #246 In anticipation of tomorrow’s Session topic (Summer Beers) I pulled this out of the fridge. It’s been actually chilly in the mornings the last few days, so I figured I’d better drink this before the autumn weather starts in earnest. Samuel Adams® Summer Ale is an American wheat ale.
