Commercial Description:
Saranac Adirondack Amber is craft brewed with pure Adirondack water, bottom fermented and fully lagered to carefully balance the sweetness of two-row malt with the delicate bitterness of American Cascade and German Hallertauer hops. Look for a golden amber color and medium body. You’ll discover a distinctive flavorful beer that is deliciously drinkable. Enjoy!

A good amber, i like mine a little more robust, but this one is alright.

Light amber pour, with a nice ice-cream head that leaves soapy lace. Some caramel sweetness to the nose, nothing overdone. The flavors are somewhat biscuit-like, a little muddy honestly, with a slight sweetness, slight metallic note, and slight toasted malt. The finish is of toasted biscuit hops. The flavors are somewhat underdone, with the complexities not matching the mouthfeel, which is a little less than medium-bodied. It does get better as it warms, becoming rounder, but still less than a top-shelf offering.

12oz - Dark gold liquid under light tan head, good lacing with lightly hopped nose. Sweet palate with starchy finish. Better than a macro, but I did hope for more.

12oz bottle. Used to be called Adirondack Amber but now its just Adirondack Lager. Filtered tan-copper color. Mellow, mild malt aroma. Crisp hoppy mouthfeel upfront that fades into malty sweetness. Quite an enjoyable and well put together session beer. Not exactly world class stuff, but good for what it is.

Light malt aroma with hints of grain. Clear light orange color with a small white head. Moderate sweet malt flavor throughout.

Dark gold pour. A little bit of malt, a little bit of hops. More body than the macro rice lagers, but still just your basic lager.
