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 pale ale poured a lightly cloudy darker orange colour with a nice, big, rocky, bright white head. A little lacing. To the nose there are scents of orange citrus, grassy hopps, bread-like hopps and dough. First taste was smooth with medium hopp flavour. A little watery. Flavours also of spuce and citrus. Finish is medium bitter with hopp flavour lingering.

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.

bottle - Pours clear light amber with a one finger off-white head. There’s a mild aroma of caramel malt and hops. There’s some good hops flavor with malt background. This medium bodied brew finishes with some lingering bitterness. It’s a pretty good text book pale ale.

Bottle. Medium amber color with a light head. Aroma of fruit, hops, British malt. Good malt, good hops. Fruity flavor, slightly oily. Very good. Hops very well balanced by fruitiness, and a bit of sweetness, with some sour, good malt. Not fantastically interesting, but very stable and surprisingly good and British tasting.
