Saranac Adirondack Lager is a Good, Basic Brew
Craft brewing operations are generally smaller in size and some produce only a few thousand barrels of beer per year. But there are some larger craft brewing operations and one of the largest of all is Matt Brewing of Utica, New York. Matt Brewing is best known not for its corporate name, but for the name of its main product line, Saranac. One of the many products that sport the Saranac label is Saranac Adirondack Lager, an amber lager.

Saranac Adirondack Lager pours to a tan color with a low level of foam. The nose on this beer is malty- sweet with a touch of citrus hops. The body of this Saranac beer is completely clear and this, along with the lack of foam or much carbonation, gives the beer a very clean appearance.
So, what about the taste? Well, Saranac Adirondack Lager is a good- tasting beer overall. The initial taste sensation is one of lightly roasted malt, toastiness, caramel, and bread. This is followed by the flavor of grassy and citrus hops. The beer finishes with a lingering hop aftertaste that is quite pleasant.
Saranac Adirondack Lager is light to medium in body and it makes a good choice for a session beer. Like other Saranac products, this one plays it safe by keeping the flavor contributors under control. You won’t feel overwhelmed by any of the flavor sensations in this malt beverage product. The taste is moderate, acceptable, and agreeable. It is unlikely that anyone would turn this beer away once they got a chance to taste it.
Saranac Adirondack Lager is very much like other Saranac beer products. That is, it tastes good, but not incredible and it’s the type of beer that most anyone will find to their liking, from rookies to the craft beer scene all the way up to full- fledged beer connoisseurs. I would prefer just a little more body, but I agree with the crowd on this one: Saranac Adirondack Lager is a good, balanced beer and one worthy of a second helping. Pick up a Saranac sampler pack and see for yourself.
