old amateur rating: Clear light amber color with an small white head. Fruity aroma. Flavor is good malty but are missing body.

Yellow with a low head. Aroma of orange, pine and grass. The flavour is initially sweet and biscuit-like and settles in to a dry bitter finish.

Transparent golden "macro" color and aroma. Rather faint aroma but definitely citrusy, especially lemon. Medium flavored beer. Very drinkable, but not a lot going on. Still I’m stuck on the citrusy, lemony, sweetness. Finish is rather short. Easy drinking beer. Good "conversion beer" for the macro friends out there.

Bottle. Poured golden with a white head. Aroma was malty but otherwise nondescript. Flavor was quite grainy and simple. Left something to be desired.

Bottle. Pours a bronze body with a white head. Grainy some light earth tones and malty body. Thin and simple. I didn’t care for it.

Pours a golden color little off white head that doesn’t last too long creamy taste very simple yet not watered down which is a plus medium body grainy taste with a little sweet taste small amount of hop taste at the end its very drinkable not bad stuff they say its simple thats not a bad thing and they are right on

12 oz bottle. Pours a light amber copper with a nice light tan head. Smells of grain, corn and grass. Tastes very nice. Hints of grains, hay, and a nice bitter crisp aftertaste. One of the better lagers. Nice job.

12oz bottle, sample pack. Pours a clear gold. Very small white head that goes away very quickly. Nose is of slight grain. Typical lager characteristics really. Flavor is bitter and the typical lager earthiness. Nothing really unique going on here

Saranac Traditional Lager is a clear, very sparkling golden beer that’s topped with a thin white that stays put the whole way through and leaves nice sip lines on the glass. It has a creamy, fruity, herbal aroma with notes of grass, flowers and earth. It is slightly sweet smelling. It has a medium-light body that’s soft and foamy with a clean, dry finish. It has a fresh, bright flavor that’s slightly sweet and, again, grassy and flowery. It is mellow and incredibly sessionable.

Bottle. Pours gold with a fizzy white head. Sweet malt aroma, grain and straw. The flavor is on the light side. Some grain with very faint hops. Not bad, drinkable.
