The holiday season may be over, but its not too late to looks at Saranac Holidaze Haze IPA for this week's Sunday Night Suds review.
The Saranac Holidaze IPA is one of two* new beers in the Saranac Beers of Winter mix box for 2019-2020. The box also includes new offerings Citrus Freeze, old friend Black Forest Cake (reviewed here https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2010/01/sunday-night-suds-saranac-black-forest.html) and Season's Best, which has been rebranded and may or not be the same beer which was itself a recast of the Nut Brown Ale.
The Holidaze Haze IPA is an unfiltered IPA brewed with Centennial, Calypso, Citra, and Galaxy hops and like many of the recent new IPAs to the market - bursting with juice but with no added juice for flavor. As this is an unfiltered beer, it poured a rather cloud rich orange color with trademark Saranac carbonation. The initial sip was a cross between grapefruit and tangelo and successive sips were all citrus. Although the beer is 6% abv, it does not have alcohol flavor and quite addictive.
Besides being sold as part of the 12 Beers of Winter mix box, this beer also is sold in six pack boxes of cans, so if you like fruity beers with no added juice, you may want to keep an eye out for the six packs.
The Holidaze 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 brews some varieties off site, so check the cans/bottles for kosher certification from the Va'ad of Detroit.
