Sunday Night Suds - Saranac 100 IPA


This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Saranac 100 IPA.

The Saranac 100 IPA is one of three new beers in the Saranac 12 Beers of Summer Box for 2019. The box also includes new entries Summer Haze IPA and Citrus Squeeze (reviewed here http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2019/07/sunday-night-suds-saranac-citrus-squeeze.html), along with old standard Kolsch (reviewed here https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2008/08/sunday-night-suds-saranac-kolsch-ale.html).

Although the folks at Saranac calls this a light beer, it is one of the finest light versions of an IPA that I have ever tasted. The color was not as dark orange as a traditional IPA, but that might have been the only real difference between them. The beer runs 4% abv which is high for a light beer. The bitterness from the hops is present as well and there was no adjunct flavor as one might expect from a light beer. If you are looking for a beer to ease someone into IPA's this would be a good starter.

Saranac 100 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 brews some varieties off site, so check the cans/bottles for kosher certification from the Va'ad of Detroit.

To see what the experts on Beer Advocate think about the brew, please follow this link https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/99/405759.

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