Commercial Description:
A hop lover's delight! In the India pale ale tradition, this brew is very hoppy in both aroma and flavor from the generous amounts of Cascade hops used in brewing. Look for a medium to full body and golden straw color.

Part of the 12 beers a falling from Saranac (what a great 12 pack and great time of year for beer!) slightly bland for the style, but still enjoyable,

Solid color for this IPA which could pass for a pale ale somewhere over the rainbow, from a 12er sampler picked up at Ralphs Beer Shack, but not enought bang for the buck. The bitterness seemed to tease the hop infusion too much and the malts fell down like dominoes on a day in Chicago. But it was a nice thing to sip on.

Very very similar in appearance to the PA. But unfortunately not a lot better in every other respect. Some lean rhubarb and minerals on the nose. palate is bland for the style but some varietal character and rusty malts and a medium strength hoppy finish. Just ok.

A clear amber colored beer, with a thick foamy beige head. The aroma is hoppy with sweet. A little caramel and fruits like citrus. The taste is fruity with bitter and hints of sweet. The aftertaste is sweet moving over to bitter.

Bottle from Saranac Trail Mix variety 6-pack. Pours a clear copper amber color with a ton of lacing along the glass. Piney hop aroma and flavor with a decent amount of malt in the backbone. Nice amount of bitterness in the finish but the aftertaste is a bit short lived. Overall, not a bad IPA.

This IPA poured a clear golden colour with a pretty good, bright white head. Scents include spruce, floral hopps and citrus. Smells like a hoppy one. First swig is smooth and has a mellow hopp bite to it. Very nice. I’m suprized this one isn’t rated higher. Flavours of lemon citrus, juniper and honey are at the forefront. Slight hoppy bitterness until the end.

Bottle 0,33ltr: Clear golden IPA, but this not so intensive bitter as its English-counterparts, but nevertheless an great New York State IPA.
