Not that bad of a India Pale Ale. A little bitter flavor, and a slight tart flavor. Pretty standard to say the least.

Bottle. Alright beverage, but nothing really to talk about. Plain tasting beer and reminds me more of regular macrobrew beer.

Bottled. Dark golden with small head. Fruity aroma. Light hoppy aftertaste to follow a fruity and warming flavor. Rating: 7-3-7-3-15-3.5. 051104

Bottle, at Esbjerg Beerfestival. A clear, golden beer with a small, off-white head. Resiny, citrusy hops and bready malts in the aroma. The flavor has a bready base with citrusy, resiny hops leaving a nice bitterness. Medium body, dry. Bitter finish. A bit bready for my likings, but an easy drinkable and tasteful beer anyway. 091022

Strong caramel aroma with a caramel color and a tan colored head. Caramel dominates the taste with a light malt taste in the background. This beer as most Saranac beers are was a little too watery for my taste. --- Beer merged from original tick of Saranac Caramel Porter on 17 Nov 2018 at 20:41 - Score: 5. Original review text: Clear amber brown sml tan head. Caramel toffee nutty arma. Thin caramel toffee nutty flav. Med light bod mod carb. 5/4/5/3/11 2.8

Brown pour with a rocky white head. Lightly grainy aroma, with a more grainy taste. A little thin, but still a tad better than other Saranac beers.

Clear brown in color with a frothy white head. A spiced aroma is quite noticable. A lightly spiced taste which is overshadowed by the grain flavor. The one upshot of this beer is that its not as watery as other Saranac beers.
