Commercial Description:
A simple, well-made Classic American Lager brewed with only choice ingredients. It is extremely mellow - refreshingly smooth, glass after glass.

The least impressive of the saranac family I feel. But not horrible.

Bottle - another mild one, well carbonated and white medium foam head. Some slight hops aroma. Grassy, earthy and even. Almost a light beer, rather refreshing and good on a hot one. Some dryness towards the end. Thirst quencher but no real outstanding qualities, as they say mellow.

12 oz bottle. Nose smells like ground beef. Some vanilla flavor, like a blonde.. but only worse. Terrible.

12 oz bottle. Pours clear gold body with smal white head. Aroma is very light, tastes like a bad blonde ale. Not much here. Somewhat offensive aftertaste.

Bottle from neighbors collection. Straw pour with thin white head. Skunky barley aroma. Tste was slight fruit and creamy. It was just non imaginitive.

Bottle- Pale golden/yellow pour is topped with a short lived white foam. Pale malts in the nose with grassy, hay notes, followed with a touch of lemony goodness. Basic good oldlager refreshment here. Biscuity, lemony, grassy with maybe a bit too much grains/straw. Slightly bitter, biscuit finish. A good summer quencher.
