This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Saranac's Always Hazy Peach IPA.
This beer is one of three new beers in Saranac's spring Irish Roots mix box, which includes old standard Irish Red (reviewed here - https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2009/02/sunday-night-suds-saranac-irish-red.html), the Always Hazy Peach IPA as well as Irish Coffee Cream and Irish Pils.
The first pour of the beer brought a wave of stone fruit peach and I was slightly concerned that this would be heavily sweet and artificial, but BH that was not to be the case. The beer had an interesting flavor with the cloudy unfiltered IPA having strong hop notes from the dry hopped citra, mosaic, and centennial hops which worked with the peaches added to the brew process. I found the beer to be a nice change of pace beer and shared it at Shabbos lunch with Mrs KB and the young rabbinical scholar/future KB had a sip as well. At 6 % abv, the alcohol content was not as present as what I was expecting, but this was not a lite beer by any means.
The Always Hazy Peach 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.
