Commercial Description:
A well balanced, full flavored, amber ale. It has a rich, malty body with a pleasant caramel character derived from a specialty Caravienne malt. A complex hop aroma, with a hint of floral and citrus comes from a combination of Cascades and Liberty hops. It has a rich, creamy head with a fine lace. The light fruitiness, characteristic of ales, is derived from a proprietary yeast strain. Saint Arnold Amber Ale is best consumed at 50 - 55° Fahrenheit.

Poured a dark gold or maybe light copper color. The head was white, one-finger tall and offered up small bits of lacing. The aroma was light caramel malts and plenty of tart lemony citrus. Some light spicy hops and softer floral notes as well. The flavor was malt, caramel, lemon and some light spice. The mouthfeel was unremarkable. The finish was clean. Enjoyable.

Nice balance of malt and hops. This ale seems to me more like a good American pale ale. It is quite a bit similar to Siera Nevada pale. Nice hop, floral aroma. Beer pour medium head that mostly dissiapates. There is some lacing. The flavor begins with good malt and finishes with a bit of hop bitterness. Very good for a Texas beer.

Pours a clear, medium-golden color. A foamy, off-white head settles to a wispy film with a thin edge. Random, sticky spots of lacing mark the glass. Aromas include toasted bread, cereal grains, light toffee, and spicy, floral hops. Flavors are similar, primarily showing toasty grain flavors, sweet biscuit, and moderately hoppy floral notes. Medium bodied and moderately carbonated, it is fairly easy to drink. Unimpressive in any particular category, this is a decent little amber ale that makes for a nice enough summertime beer.
