Sunday Night Suds - Season's Best Amber Beer


This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Saranac Season's Best Amber Beer..

As mentioned in two early January Sunday Night Suds column, the Saranac Beers of Winter mix box  for 2019-2020 contains new offerings Citrus Freeze (reviewed here https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2020/01/sunday-night-suds-saranac-citrus-freeze.html);  Saranac Holidaze IPA (reviewed here http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2020/01/sunday-night-suds-saranac-holidaze-haze.html); 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 after careful consideration I believe is not just a recast of the Nut Brown Ale.

The Season's Best Amber Beer is a malty beer with some spiciness, but not from external spices. The beer poured a rich amber (shocking!) with Saranac's trademark over carbonation, something which I personally enjoy. There was rich foam which lasted throughout the drink in all the bottles that I tested over the last two weeks. This beer does not seem light on the alcohol, but the exact abv was not on the bottle. 

The Seasons Best Amber Beer 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.
