Poured this into a 12oz "pint" glass and formed a 1/2" head that disipated quickly leaving very light lacing around the edges to the bottom of the glass. The color is straw yellow with a good amount of carbonation. The smell is very soft with flowery hops and sweet yeasty bread. The flavor is also soft, almost buttery in feel with sweet notes in front and at the side of the palate and a soft bitterness that lingers for a bit in the not-too-dry finish. There's a citrus note also in the finish that I didn't detect earlier. I think I prefer this Czech style pils over the German styles and their more aggressive hop rates so I'll have to rate this pretty high on the drinkability scale; in fact I think I'll have another right now.

Upstate Bohemian.
A malt forward version without the hop accent one normally expects from this style. Good, mild, clean, crisp, not Old World in approach but pleasant in it's own way.
Simply too mild for my tastes but it has it's place.

Yellow pour, good clarity, 3/4" white head. Aroma had some noble hops, minor in degree.
Highly carbonated pilsner, didn't pop with anything, hopping muted, malt muted, not even some euro lager aromas. Mineral, although the hops do seem to be the only thing present, not bad.
Saranac makes extremely pedestrian beers, this is no exception. Mild grain notes, noble hops, absent yeast impact. Easy enough for your mom to drink.
