Saranac Blueberry Blonde Ale

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with a light haze from wheat malt and oats, creating a soft, inviting visual character. The head is modest but persistent, with delicate lacing that clings gently to the glass. Carbonation is visible and lively, contributing to the beer's bright, summery presentation.

◌ Aroma

Fresh blueberry leads the nose, bright and unmistakable, supported by soft, grainy notes from wheat and oats. The hop character is restrained, allowing the fruit to occupy the foreground without herbaceous competition. A clean, malty sweetness underpins the profile, with no harsh or oxidative notes.

◐ Taste

Berry fruit dominates the palate from the first sip, with blueberry carrying through the mid-palate in a refreshing, natural manner. The wheat and oat malt provides a light, slightly creamy body that balances the fruit without heaviness. Hop bitterness is intentionally subdued at 18 IBU, allowing the finish to remain clean and dry rather than assertive.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and dry, with blueberry and grain fading in a linear, uncluttered manner. No lingering sweetness or astringency interrupts the clean departure from the glass.

Serve at 7–10°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
