Commercial Description:
Brewed in the grand tradition of the Vienna beers of Austria and the Marzenbiers of Munich, Olde Saratoga Premium Lager is a smooth, medium-bodied lager with a pale copper color and a rich aroma. German hops and imported Munich malt impart an intriguing balance between light, soft bitterness and a refreshing sweetness. Hand-crafted with an "old world" attention to detail, Olde Saratoga Premium Lager is a sure bet every time.

12 oz. bottle. Aroma of sweet caramel and malt. Fluffy white head which leaves little lacing. Copper colored body that implies a heartier mouthfeel that this beer actually presents, which was thin. Very slight hoppy flavor masked with a bland blanket of grain. Mild aftertaste of nuttiness. Nothing outstanding or out of the ordinary.

Tap at Hop Devil. Aroma of caramel malt with a light tartness and red fruits. Flavor brings out a rich, sweet malt as the tart hint remains, and more earth and bread comes out as well. Thought this was a Vienna as I was drinking it, I guess it’s a sort of hybrid. In any case, quite tasty.

On tap at HDG. Pours a deep red/orange with a small white head. Aroma of sweet malt. Flavor of nuts, nice sweet malt, brown sugar, some vegetal notes too. Hmm, didn’t realize this was an oktoberfest but now it makes sense I guess. It’s alright.

12 oz. bottle. Copper pour with a thin almond colored head. Caramel corn aroma. Flavor sweet, caramely, grainy. Blech.

from a 12 oz bottle. given what I have had from this brewery in the past, I was nicely surprised by this brew. Nicely malty, light caramel, hint of hops. Very nice drinkable summer beer. enjoyed it.

Bottle from Market Street Wine Shop Downtown Charlottesville. Pours a slightly hazy red with medium fizzy head that quickly disappears. Crisp grainy aroma that has a subtle hint of bitterness. Taste is hop bitterness, grain, caramel. This is nice.
