Traditional Lager

Review - The Matt Brewing Company's Saranac Traditional Lager

"A simple well-made Classic American Lager brewed with only choice ingredients. It is extremely mellow refreshingly smooth, glass after glass." -- The Matt Brewing Company

This is the weaker of the two lagers put out by this brewery. It pours a yellow color with a small, fizzy head. Clear, thin body, fully diminishing head with no lacing. Aroma is weak, with a faint hint of light orange and some yeast. Initial taste is moderately bitter, fading to a bland bitter finish with a short duration. It is thin and light on the mouth with a watery feel. Dry on palate. This is a beer better intended to be had with food, not to be enjoyed by itself.
