Our original award-winning Saranac beer is brewed in the German Lager tradition using Noble hops. We balance the hop bitterness with caramel malt sweetness, creating what we like to call a “round” beer.

Pours golden amber with a thick white head. Aroma is sweet and bread-like, similar to a pilsener. Taste is malty, subtly fades to a nice crisp hop element on the back of the tongue. The palate continues that hop note but leads to an intense and pleasant bread note that lingers on the nose. Excellent beer.

From old tasting notes. Bright orange gold color. Fluffy white head. Fragrant hop aroma. Tangy, citrus malt flavor reminiscent of grapefruit. Tart malt/hop finish.

355ml bottle. Pours a clear amber-orange with a small, short lived, off-white head that laces. Sweet aroma of caramel malt, bread and light fruit. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, corn, bread and a hint of fruit with a dry, mildly bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation.

6 week old bottle into a pint. A: Poured hard but still little head, quickly down to thin film. Deep clear gold color with a few visible bubbles. S: Malty brown bread and yeast smell. Earthy hops. T: Bitter leafy hops note with a suggestion of citrus . Faint toffee provides nice balance. Not as malty as the nose. M: Average carb level. Light to medium body. Clean tart finish. O: Nothing sticks out here except the taste, which is actually quite good. Well worth a try.

Rated from old notes. Light-bodied and slightly sweet lager. Turns bittersweet near finsh but never develops a distinct character. Tolerable.
