THE SARANAC SIX - DEFENDANT #1

Saranac India Pale Ale, an India Pale Ale by Matt Brewing Company

12 ounce bottle. One of six beers in the Saranac Sampler Adirondack Trail Mix six-pack. Drunk in Arlington, Virginia.

LABEL STATEMENT:
"A hop lover's delight. In the India Pale Ale tradition this brew is very hoppy in both aroma and flavor from the generous amounts of Cascade hops used in brewing. Look for a medium to full body and golden straw color."

TWT'S STATEMENT:
Saranac IPA pours clear orange and brilliant with a very light ivory head. The primary aromas are strong of both apple and orange. The primary flavors are bitter orange and light caramel. The body is medium. This is a good solid IPA.

VERDICT:
Would I drink it again? Sure.
