ome and had a new beer. (How's that for a run on sentence)Last night's choice again came from the Saranac set the Jay gave me up in the Quad Cities. This one was the Adirondack Lager. (sorry for the fuzzy picture; it looked clear at the time).
It poured a dark amber, with a fizzy head. It smelled like a Killian's. It was malty and sweet with a lager sweet crispness to the nose. It had lots of nose. It had a medium heaviness, was slightly coaty, and had early fizz on the tongue.
It tasted like burned sugar (darker than normal caramel). It was malty and biscuity. There was a slight bitter flavor, but that showed up way late in the flavor. It was consistent in flavor as it warmed, with only the bitter appearing after several minutes.
This was a tasty amber. I'd search it out again. If you are a fan of Killian's or Michelob Amber Bock, or other amber beers, this would be a nice craft beer to replace it with.
This beer apparently used to be Saranac Adirondack Amber, which was described as:
Saranac Adirondack Amber is craft brewed with pure Adirondack water, bottom fermented and fully lagered to carefully balance the sweetness of two-row malt with the delicate bitterness of American Cascade and German Hallertauer hops. Look for a golden amber color and medium body. You’ll discover a distinctive flavorful beer that is deliciously drinkable. Enjoy!I did enjoy it... thank you.
