Picked this up in the seasonal box.

Poured a golden amber with a good finger and a half of white frothy head. Retention was good, lacing was interesting.

Smell is average. Mild malt and floral hop, very crisp and sweet.

Taste is good, smooth. Starts with a sweet tad of biscuity malt, leading into a very mild sweet floral hop finish.

Mouthfeel is very nice, smooth and dry, carbonation is prefectly non-detectable.

Drinkability is good. It's easy to drink and having a few in a row doesn't bring out the alcohol.

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.
