Commercial Description:
Saranac Pale Ale is a classic English Pale Ale brewed with six specialty malts and aggressively-hopped with hand-selected English Kent Goldings & Fruggles hops. Look for a rich fruity hop bouquet. A copper amber color and a smooth, full-flavored taste with a crisp finish that only comes from a genuine top fermented ale. Enjoy!

Bottle at EsBF09. Clear amber colour. Small off-white head. The flavour is subtly malty with a hint of grain. Gets a bit sour in the finish. Very rough bitterness, a bit unpleasant.

Clear light brown with a little reddish color. Aroma is of malts, some hops, caramel, and a slight smoked scent in the back end. Taste has malt, hops, and a slight dried fruit taste. Leave a rather smooth aftertaste. Nothing too impressive, but it’s worth trying out.

Bottle from Saranac Trail Mix six pack. Pours a crystal clear copper amber color with a beige head. Good retention of lacing along the glass. Floral hop and roasted malt aroma. Initial flavor is more malty than hoppy but there is a fair amount of bitterness in the finish. Prickly carbonation in the mouthfeel. Decent overall, but I’m not too crazy about the somewhat bland aftertaste.

Not exciting, just something new to try. Flower smell, crisp and thin. There are better pale ales in this price range.

Bottle. Amber color. Melon, citrus, oily hops and a hint of perfumed in the aroma. Oily hoppy flavor with grapefruit, lychee and red berries. Slightly perfumed finish. Likeable typical American pale ale.
