Sunday Night Suds - Saranac Juicy Ale

This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Saranac Juicy Ale.

As discussed in last week's post, this year Saranac introduced a special summer can pack called the Weekend Warrior variety pack, despite the fact that there is less to do on the weekend this year.

The Weekend Warrior pack includes the Lil Hazy Ale (reviewed here http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2020/07/sunday-night-suds-saranac-lil-hazy-ale.html), along with the new Saranac Juicy Ale and old friend Saranac Session Ale (reviewed here http://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2013/07/sunday-night-suds-saranac-session-ale.html).

Although this beer claims to be 4.8% abv, there is no discernible alcohol taste and the beer seems to be a light version of a juicy IPA. That's not to say that the beer lacks hops as there is some citrus bite, but the beer is not a full fledged IPA, or even an American Pale Ale. Still, if you are looking for a lighter juicy beer to ease your way into the style, its not a bad choice.

I have not seen this beer sold in anything but the Weekend Warrior Box and I am unaware of this beer being sold in six or twelve packs, so if you want this beer you need to pick up the mix box.

The Juicy 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.
