Beers similar to Saranac Pale Ale

Pale Ale·United States·5.5% ABV·One of 659 Pale Ales in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Saranac Pale Ale's citrusy and hoppy character. Saranac Pale Ale is one of the longest-running beers in the brewery's year-round range. Over the years the malt bill has been reduced and the hopping raised, giving a copper-amber ale with a medium body. Floral and citrus hop notes sit over a light caramel sweetness with a hint of ripe fruit, and the beer finishes crisp with a smooth, rounded bitterness.
