This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Saranac Clouded Dream India Pale Ale.
The Clouded Dream IPA is one of the two new beers in the Beers of Winter Mix box. Along with winter staples Seasons Best (reviewed here https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2009/05/sunday-night-suds-saranac-brown-ale.html) and Big Moose Ale (reviewed here https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2009/11/sunday-night-suds-saranac-big-moose-ale.html), Saranac has also introduced the Oatmeal Stout (reviewed here https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2018/11/sunday-night-suds-saranac-oatmeal-stout.html) and Clouded Dream IPA.
The Clouded Dream IPA is an American IPA absolutely bursting with floral hops and citrus. Saranac brews this with Centennial, Citra, and Mosaic Hops and the resulting beer is one of the better new IPAs I have tried in years. The beer is a bit low at 5.50% abv, but it does not take away from the flavor or the medium mouthfeel. As of now you cannot purchase this in six packs, but I'm hoping that will change soon.
Saranac Clouded Dream 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 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.
