12oz single from Mac’s Midtown, Atlanta, GA, USA. Part of the $7.99 mixed sixer.
I learned to enjoy Saranac beers as a simple, easy to drink and decent value brews with some good variety. As such, I was looking forward to this. Unfortunately it turned out to be one of their weakest offerings IMO.
Pour is a standard amber look. Head is gone quiclkly without much lace – looks a little lifeless.
Strange smokey smell and taste. This was all a little odd. The smoke taste (with its associated bitterness) overwhelmed what should have been a sweet, malty experience to be in style.
Seems like an odd beer, and very out of style.
