43 - Saranac Irish Red Ale

It's almost St Patrick's Day, where scores of non Irish people and people who were related to Irish people hundreds of years ago, get drunk and wear stupid hats while combining all of the green articles of clothing in their closet to honor a dead Irish man who was declared a saint for chasing away snakes. WTF?

But this is about the beer, not the behatted douchebags or snake charmers. And Saranac, my favorite half decent beer brewer has half done it again. It's a good red ale. But they are very careful at Saranac not to make it too good. They understand that over acheiving would hurt thier image so they make it thier goal to get it just right, not too good and not crappy. I have stared liking red ales since this blog started and that is why I half like this one.

I give it 3.6 out of 4 chased snakes. Not bad!
