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!

Light copper with a nice head. Citrus, hoppy aroma with floral notes as well. Flavor is similar with a light grapefruit finish. A little malty with some caramel, as well. Has some soft bitterness to go along with the citrus notes. I was suprised by this pale.

Pretty strong aroma of light malts and hops. Orange or copper color with a medium light yellow head. Great balance of woody and hop notes. Relatively strong in flavor and clean, while not thick or heavy. Delicious cilantro finish. Immensely drinkable. Excellent beer for the price.

Pour is a copper with a white head. No real aroma comes off the beer. Flavor is more of the same. A small amount of hops show up but there is nothing redeaming about this beer. There are some pale lagers with more flavor.

Has more personality than paler saranac ales & lagers I’ve tasted. Says ’classic english lager’ on the label, but not quite. A little less pale than other american pale yellow beers and has a bitter aftertaste. Couldn’t find the sweetness that others did in this beer. Has that typical Saranac flavor in the background. Did I say it still has a bitter aftertaste? will not buy again.

A dark orange beer with a huge light orange head. The aroma is quite hoppy with both notes of flowers and citrus - a combination of English and American tradition. The flavor is sweet malty with a note of caramel, before a mostly flowery hoppyness starts to dominated, and leads to a quite bitter end with a touch of straw.
