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.

I normally like Yeungling, Sam Adams, and others. Found this on the FANY bike ride (Five hundred miles Accross New York) last summer and I believe I have a new favorite!

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.

Bottled. I doubt this is a pale lager given that it pours copper with a thin white head and smells of caramel, sugar and yogurt. Tastes of malt, pepper, and orangey. Nice mouthfeel. Sweet finish.

That "premium lager" almost threw me off - this is a rather nice, full bodied beer with some fine malt and hop qualities. Really wonder if it’s been retooled since earlier as I see some poor rating from years back. Good stuff

Had this one bottled in Glens Falls, New York. Clear, medium brownish red pour with a nice thick tan head, nose of sweet grassy malts, very nice citrusy notes in the flavor, and a dry finish. Excellent.

This one is not bad. Pours a deep amber color with a nice fullfy head that fades into a nice ring of foam that seems to stay present. The nose is malty and has some light fruity aromas. The taste is like that of a toasted breakfast cereal, with some jammy toasty aftertastes that linger on the palate. This has a great malt character with some nice sweetness, great aftertaste, and super easy to drink.

Aroma of caramel, brown sugar/malt. Ruby body with an off white head. Flavor is caramel, cherry, dusty malt, some sulfur and brown sugar in the finish. Almost bocky. Very nice but not as light/refreshing as I expected. More of a winter brew.

Little aroma though there is a faint hint of some honeyish sweetness. Poured nice with a creamy white head that took a little time to recede. Tea colored which is unusual for a pale lager. Wow very different. Some STRONG flavors of cane sugar. Very strong. That leads into the typical lager profile of a crisp curt beer. That cane sugar flavor has a touch of molassess too as it warms. Very unusual. I really figured this would suck, but it is very good. Even has a hefty un-lager like body.
