Balking at traditional summer ale traits, this fizzy seasonal lacks fruity potential but procures sugary maltose finesse. Roasted barley-hop dryness finds tangy sour citrus center atop caramelized undertones. Brewery defunct: circa 2004.

Natural lemon flavor influences snazzy citric hop mouthfeel and casual sour wheat breading, but sweet malted grain predictability flattens citrus notes by watery finish.

Halfway refreshing golden-fleeced seasonal benefits from clover honey sweetness and soft lemony orange peel bittering, but glutinous pale wheat stickiness and cloy soda-like finish become stagnant. Soapy backdrop outlasts vulnerable white-peppered coriander-clove spicing.

Clean tasting moderate-bodied pale-hazed American wheat ale brewed with lemon and African melegueta pepper conveys fizzy hop-tingled citric-herbal-floral piquancy redolent of Belgian White Ale. Coriander, agave, spearmint, and peppercorn hints shelter sour lemon zest as wee apricot-orange peel-cherry tang gently caresses hindmost violet-jasmine trace. Tea-like hint sways mineral-grained bread-y malt base. Try it with sherbet for true refreshment.

Soapy translucent gold lightweight brings sly dry hop graze and dank lemony peach-grapefruit sedation to sweet corned cracked wheat center, but indistinct summery appeal and phenol vapidity mar commonplace brew.

On tap, quick berry fruitiness retains citrus-hopped fizz and ripe grapefruit-tangerine-orange blossom sweetness. Sunset orange turbidity matches thick yeast-malt concentration.

Aggressively hop-embittered ruby-browned winter celebrator trickles brown sugared mocha-vanilla malting atop cocoa-powdered cinnamon-ginger spicing, honey nut glaze, and tertiary fig-prune-plum nuances. Tea-like midst surges to sherry-like finish, absorbing some lingered phenol acidity.

Refreshing amber-hued brew offers dark fruit aroma, gradually increasing lemon and spice insinuations, and strangely, a noticeable lack of wheat essence. Definitely one of Saranac’s finest, this unlikely ‘wheat’ beer sprinkles acidic citrus notes over perky hops and lively carbonation for crisp thirst quencher perfect for pool parties and beachcombers.

Softly carbolic pale-toned summer brew proves non-traditional, as dry barley-roasted oats-toasted cereal graining undoes expected summery fruitiness by constricting fructose tolerance. Daintily-spiced yellow-fruited center wavers. Worse, muted sour wheat finish tanks.

Moderate pale-toned white-headed summer ale with fresh-cut wheat afterburner loses refreshing citric zest due to incomplete fruit stimulation, flattened lemony hops, and lack of serious grain punch. Pleasant raspberry-blueberry-apricot tartness doesn’t quite linger enough below.

Basic pale golden moderate-bodied summer fodder fizzles. Seltzer-like fizz hides tart citric serenade and sour clover honey affinity. Worse, astringent pomegranate acridity ransacks grassy hop earthiness.

Horrid summertime wheat ale with diacetyl lemon-drop souring, acrid cabbage-asparagus nastiness, and dank metallic finish further disrupted by tannic white grape and green apple acidity.
