Beer of the Week Blast from the Past: Saranac Single Malt Ale

Beer score: 7.0

The Saranac folks have made some decent brews over the years, but unfortunately not all of them are still around, like this one. At least I have a few old notes left over.

The label boasted that this beer had a flavor distinctive from any other beer, and while I don't know if I'd go that far, it definitely was different from any of the other Saranac brews I've tasted over the decades.

This one went down very smooth and wet with a bitterness that hit the tongue quickly but died out on the way down to the stomach. That bitterness grew strong the more you drank, but it left your mouth soon except for a slight dull taste still in the mouth.
