This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Saranac Brewery's Joy to Ale.
As mentioned in a previous Sunday Night Suds - Saranac has continued to pump out new brews, including this year's 12 Beers of Winter mix box. includes new beers - Joy to Ale, Winter Warmer and the Permafrost IPA (reviewed here http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2020/12/sunday-night-suds-saranac-permafrost-ipa.html), along with one of my all time Saranac favorites - the Big Moose Ale (reviewed here https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2009/11/sunday-night-suds-saranac-big-moose-ale.html).
The Joy to Ale is a light style ale which is more reminiscent of Heineken than an ale. The beer poured a light gold with decent carbonation which lasted throughout the drink. There was no pine, citrus or any noticeable hop bite. The beer claimed to be 5.5% abv, but there was no noticeable alcohol taste nor it did have the body of anything more substantial than a lager.
Joy to Ale 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 brews some 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.
