This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Saranac Polar Haze IPA.
I found this beer when I stopped in Oliver's Brew Crew in Albany, New York. I can always count on them having limited release beers which we cannot get down here (there are a few more which I intend to review over the next few months). The Polar Haze IPA caught my eye, and although they were sold in twelve packs of cans, they agreed to sell me a six pack without upcharge.
The Polar Haze IPA is a little more golden than I expected (why I included the picture above) but the fruit in it is incredible. Citrus? yes, but more than that even a little bit of pineapple. No, this beer is not flavored, the taste comes entirely from the Citra, Centennial, Mosaic, and Simcoe hops. The beer is 6.0% abv, but there is no heavy alcohol flavor and the pine and tropical fruit make it a beer that non-traditional beer drinkers would enjoy.
Saranac Polar Haze IPA is under the Kosher Supervision of the Va'ad of Detroit as is every other beer produced at the Matt Brewery plant in Utica, NY. Keep in mind, Saranac has begun to brew many different varieties off site, so check the cans/bottles for kosher certification from the Va'ad of Detroit.

As always, please remember to drink responsibly and to never waste good beer unless there is no designated driver.
