Notes / Commercial Description:
Officially American: previously an English pale ale, we’ve converted this beer over to an American-style Pale Ale.
We’ve dialed UP the hop profile, adding more focus to American style hops, like Cascade, Chinook, Citra, and Willamette.
Hop Infusion: every drop of beer is exposed to our hop slurry as the beer passes from fermentation to aging, resulting in a more brilliant, cleaner hop character.
Saranac Pale Ale’s foundation was built on the tried and true English varieties, Golding and Fuggles. We brighten Pale Ale with the three “C”s; a strong focus on Citra, complimented by Cascade, and Chinook. We then bridge the old world with the new with the two most distinctive hops Bramling Cross and Jester, both descendants of English and North American varieties.
Malts: Crystal, Two-Row
Hops: Bramling Cross, Jester, Citra, Cascade, Chinook
Original Gravity: 13.5° Plato
IBU: 32

Golden with a small head. A bit on the light side. Not very bitter at all with a light lace. Pretty drinkable beer. Prefer the IPA more.
