This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Saranac Legacy 2.0 IPA.
After launching the Legacy IPA in 2014 (reviewed here - https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2014/02/sunday-night-suds-saranac-legacy-ipa.html), the good folks at Saranac did a reboot in 2019-2020 and have installed it as one of their core beers.
I remember that I liked this beer in its original iteration, although I can't remember from seven years ago what it tasted like. I found the 2.0 to be quite good as well and shared it at dinner with Mrs KB and the young rabbinical scholar/future KB had a sip as well. The beer poured a muted copper with the usual solid carbonation which is the hallmark of a Saranac brew. At 6.5% abv, the alcohol content was present and forward, but not as heavy as a double. There was also decent pine which accompanied the alcohol flavor, but not much in the way of citrus.
The Legacy 2.0 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.

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