Saranac Pale Ale, a 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 beer that would make the English jealous. This true English pale ale is rich and fruity but finishes crisp. You'll love the copper amber color and medium body."
TWT'S STATEMENT:
Saranac Pale Ale 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, although much lighter than Saranac IPA. The body is medium. This is a fair pale ale, but why wouldn't I just drink Saranac IPA instead?
VERDICT:
Would I drink it again? Maybe. But if something else was present, perhaps not. And, seriously, why wouldn't I just have a Saranac IPA instead? It would be a better, bolder version of this pale ale.
