Fizziness-Rim head; active bubbles 5.8% alc. Cost-$1.16 per ozs. Ingredients-Touch of Raspberry; Crystal & Chocolate Malts Style-Winter Ale Aftertaste-Raspberry holds Rating-7
Saranac Brown Ale: Color-Brown; orange tint Nose-Malty First taste-Light chocolate Observations-Full bodied Where Brewed? Utica, NY Fizziness-Frothy head; mild bubbles Cost-96 cents per 12 ozs.
