Saranac India Pale Ale

June 5, 2008 · Leave a Comment

ABV: 5.8%
Brewed by: Matt Brewing Company, Utica, NY.
Description: “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.”

Thoughts: Actually I like this better than the Pale Ale I drank the other day. Aftertaste, just like the Saranac Pale Ale.

Thumbs: Up.
