Saranac – Belgian White
So I was at the liquer store hankering for some guiness when my bro pointed out this large box of Saranac, to which I said "Saranac? never heard of it, I better get some". Short story shorter I got the summer variety pack of said Saranac. So tonights Saranac entry will be on one type of beer that has consistantly been one of my favorites; the Belgian White.
I'm a little surprised by this particular beer as there's something about the taste that just isn't consistent with other Belgian Whites I've had. I'm having trouble placing it, but its something about the aftertaste. Honestly its almost a little flowery... kind of like some sort of beer flower, only not hops. Apart from the flowerocity, the finish is pretty mild with almost no bitterness to it whatsoever. I'm actually a little disappointed as I'm starting to really appreciate the bitter twang that hits the sides of your mouth in a nice pale ale and I find myself wanting after drinking this guy. Perhaps my tastes are begining to shift from the smooth finish of a Belgian White to the bite of a pale ale... Well whatevers going on here I'd say this is an all around mediocer Belgian White. So lets say, I'll give this one a 4.5
