The Spring Beer Tourney: # 8 Saranac Red vs # 9 Dundee Red
This brings us two off your standard reds, Saranac Irish Red and Dundee Red. First off, they are both red. Saranac has caramel, light mocha and citrus herb on the nose, while dundee is a bit more on the citrus. Saranac is a classic red and is just what I thought caramel citrus herb with a hint of mocha. It's a little too damn fizzy. But the Dundee is so fizzy it caused to burp almost immediately, annoying. Dundee Red has really the same flavor profile just maybe weaker, although its hard to tell through the fizz. Once the carbonation calms down, and it took a while, neither of these is very exciting. They are decent reds, but I would not buy either one of them. Oh well, Dundee is the winner here, as soon as I could extract the flavor from the fizz. Just a bit better.
