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!

Don’t smell nor taste very much hops in this beer. To me it’s just a simple, easy drinkable pale ale. Nothing special though.

Clear copper colour, off-white head. Aroma of honey, fruity and bit sweet. Malts and medium hops. Flavour is malty, bit sweet and fruity with a nice hops tone. The finish is quite dry and hoppy.

Beautiful amber color; creamy head. It hass light caramel flavor. Strong caramel flavor, bitter, but overall without notable hop qualities. Very similar to the India Pale Ale.

Pours a crystal clear dark amber/red color with a fluffy white head that leaves lots of lace on the way down. Smells of citrus and pine needles, some grainy malt and a touch of caramel in there too. Taste is not what the nose tells you its going to be. Bitter and astringent up front little fruity in the middle, a little malt and crisp carbonation in the finish. Soapy mouthfeel make the mouth water a bit. Crisp carbonation medium body. This is a weird little pale ale. Smells pretty good, but the taste let me down a bit. I looked to see if I had an old bottle or something, but they don’t appear to be dated.

Nice... another good brew from the USA in our local LCBO. Comes in a six pack. Pours a clean amber colour with a big creamy off-white head. Good retention and beautiful thick lace. The aroma is nice and hoppy. Some light grains and mildly fruity. Rye bread and biscuit tasting, with the hop still present, but in a milder fashion. Notes of apples and caramel. Overall, just a nice pale ale that is quite refreshing but not too strong.

6pack sampler #6. Saved the lightest for last oddly enough. taste is of straw little citrus and is fairly crisp. good beer to have before you start actuial drinking i suppose. I’d say its a fine lawnmower beer but i don’t have a yard so i doubt i’ll get again.
