Style | ABV
American IPA |  4.70% ABV

Availability: Limited (brewed once). bottle (26), on-tap (1). 

Notes:
We've created an easy to drink crisp, hoppy ale that is truly pale in color without sacrificing the hop character you expect in an IPA. To make a delicious "sessionable" beer, we selected citrusy centennial hops and an experimental variety from the Northwest U.S.. Look for this unique hop character balanced by the background nuttiness of Maris Otter malt. Not too filling, not overbearing-just laid back and drinkable!

3.58/5  rDev +10.5%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5

A - light gold; half of an inch of soft, white, dense, foamy head; great retention

S - citrusy, orange, herbal, spicy

T - orange, citrus, mild bitter hoppy finish, herbal, slightly piny, lightly nutty, a bit grainy

M - smooth, well carbonated, medium bodied

This isn't a bad beer, but it's not my favorite IPA from Saranac. The hops are a bit at odds with each other. The citrusy character is one-dimensional and immensely orangey. This could use a bit of balance and maybe a bit of a heavier malt character.

12oz bottle from the 2012 12 Beers of Summer variety pack served in a Saranac pint glass.

L - clear golden color with a white head that thinned to a ring leaving some trails of lacing behind.

S - earthy background with some citrus and floral hop aromas.

T - solid nutty flavor with a tease of citrus bitterness turning nutty sweet on the lips.

F - light/medium bodied with a refreshing feel.

O - this beer was ok but I prefer others in this style.
