Commercial Description:
Brewed in the grand tradition of the Vienna beers of Austria and the Marzenbiers of Munich, Olde Saratoga Premium Lager is a smooth, medium-bodied lager with a pale copper color and a rich aroma. German hops and imported Munich malt impart an intriguing balance between light, soft bitterness and a refreshing sweetness. Hand-crafted with an "old world" attention to detail, Olde Saratoga Premium Lager is a sure bet every time.

Tap at Hop Devil. Aroma of caramel malt with a light tartness and red fruits. Flavor brings out a rich, sweet malt as the tart hint remains, and more earth and bread comes out as well. Thought this was a Vienna as I was drinking it, I guess it’s a sort of hybrid. In any case, quite tasty.

On tap at HDG. Pours a deep red/orange with a small white head. Aroma of sweet malt. Flavor of nuts, nice sweet malt, brown sugar, some vegetal notes too. Hmm, didn’t realize this was an oktoberfest but now it makes sense I guess. It’s alright.

12 oz. bottle. Copper pour with a thin almond colored head. Caramel corn aroma. Flavor sweet, caramely, grainy. Blech.

from a 12 oz bottle. given what I have had from this brewery in the past, I was nicely surprised by this brew. Nicely malty, light caramel, hint of hops. Very nice drinkable summer beer. enjoyed it.

Bottle from Market Street Wine Shop Downtown Charlottesville. Pours a slightly hazy red with medium fizzy head that quickly disappears. Crisp grainy aroma that has a subtle hint of bitterness. Taste is hop bitterness, grain, caramel. This is nice.

I am definitely a fan of Mendocino/Saratoga Brewing. They consistently release solid, tasty beers. This one has a nice, antique-looking sepia drawing on the label. It pours dark amber, without much head. There is a fine aroma of citrus and floral hops, with a little cookie dough too. It is pretty dry and fizzy in the mouth. The taste is fresh and nicely balanced, with malts mid-palate and piney hops in the finish. The label says most of the ingredients originate in Deutschland, and it does taste like a German import. For some reason (marketing, perhaps?), they call it a lager even tho it is a marzen.

Draught at Hop Devil, NYC. Golden/orange color, white head. Quite weak malt aroma. Malty flavor, diacetyl, toffe, and with some bitterness.

Bottle. Pours orange with a light orange head. Very light aroma or sweet malt, not quite caramel, not quite spicy, just very light. Medium thin body. Flavor is again very light and sweet malt. Not a bad beer but I would like to be able to taste a little more.
