3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours copper color with off white head. Malty aroma with very faint hops. Slightly sweet caramel malts with some English hop flavors. Light to medium body with average carbonation.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Copper-amber beer with minor head and lacing. Decent hop and malt notes, but Saranac’s signature metal shows up as well. Not exactly floral. This common complaint is reflected in the taste, which best described as bitter metallic. Malts hardly present. Medium body. Basic bitter from the basic brewer.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12oz bottle poured into a pint glass.
Pours a slightly hazy copper with a one finger head. Head quickly dissipates leaving slight lacing.
Smells of earthy hops with a bit of caramel and metal.
There is a metallic taste throughout that is somewhat unappelaing. Earthy hop flavors dominate along with caramel and toffee. Moderate bitterness along with a good bit of sweetness from the specialty malts.
Overall not a very impressive beer. A bit too sweet and the metallic taste is a turn off.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours clear yellow with a small white head. Aromas of citrus, perhaps some pine, and sweet malt. The flavor is sweet citrus peel (orange and some lemon), mild tropical fruit, and slight earthy malt. Average. [899]

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
this pours a golden to slightly amber color, with a white head. The aroma is very malty with toffee, caramel, and some grassy hop aromas. The flavor is strong in caramel, with earthy flavors, and some grass. the palate is about a medium body, but maybe a little heavier with bitterness that starts at the front and malt and hop flavor finishes. Overall this is tasty, but nothing really stands out in about it.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12oz VA bottle. I honestly only tried this because it was part of a mixed 6-pack. It wasn’t bad, just not a good pale ale. Pretty light on the hops/bitterness with some hints of butter in the finish. Meh.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Looks normal. Smells earthy woodsy and soft and slightly sweet with citrus. Tastes of lemon and anise. Feels soft and creamy with a tingly finish. Good.
