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!

This is a surprisingly nice beer. I really think this beer is fairly underrated. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle the beer poured a dark red-caramel color with a medium sized light tan head. Very pretty in fact. The scent was sharp and hoppy and rather pleasant as well. The flavor washed over the tongue with noticeable malt and a tart, tangy and hoppy element. The malt really lingered on in the aftertaste.

Very pretty orange/amber color, with a nice soft head, and lots of lacing. Nice, but weak floral scent. Kind of weak flavor, with a metallic copper aftertaste. Not what I had expected. A little thin in the mouth. Too boring for me to resample, though it's really not awful.

Good overall beer, very findable in the northeast...perfectly golden in colour, great hoppy smell. Bright white head on the pour, but it quickly dissipates. A quick start to the taste and flavours, and an even quicker finish, as there is no aftertaste! The beer starts out great, but fades away way too quickly!

Copper color, med head. Grassy and citric hops, with woody and herbal notes, with light caramel notes in the nose. Nice full caramel malt with honey tones - and herbal, somewhat spicy and woody hop finish. Nice British style pale ale.
