Drank this beer with gwuilliums at Camp Lawrence for 15th anniversary celebration.

A: Light golden yellow with some chill haze. Decent head formation, but hardly any retention. Decent carbonation with very little lacing.

S: Medium hops and a decent malt background.

T: Nothing special here. Decent tangy malt with some hops.

M: Carbonation is right. Decent, roundish mouthfeel. Not creamy.

O: Just an average pale ale. Nothing I would go searching for.

A nicely colored copper-orange body covered with a nice foamy head. Citrus hops and caramel malt notes in the aroma. Crisp, medium-bodied feel; slightly fizzy. Warm malt flavors, reminding me of honey and biscuits; good complementary hop bitterness.

Another decent if non-exceptional offering from Saranac. Tasty and very drinkable, all things considered.

look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 2 | feel: 2 | overall: 2

Appearance: Clear, golden color with two fingers of head that fade to a cap with some spotty lacing.

Aroma: Big toasted malt aroma with some woody notes mixed in with a slight metallic tang.

Taste: Some thin toasted malt flavor up front followed by a lot of grainy, thin, metallic yuck. Some mild bitterness towards the back end and finishing with some lingering graininess.

The Rest: Not much to say here, this isn't very good.
