COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The color is deep amber with a light, creamy head. The nose starts off with a touch of citrus but then turns decidedly into peaches. The taste starts off with creamy malt resulting from the pale 2 row and caramel malts and Saint Arnold yeast. The hop bitter starts low then builds to a crescendo, but always maintains a balance even in its big finish. The hop flavor continues to be peaches, an interesting manifestation of the Columbus, Simcoe and Centennial hops. This is the first Divine Reserve that we have filtered. This decision was made to make the hop flavors brighter, plus it would have been a bottling nightmare with all the hop bits in it. This beer is best enjoyed at 45° or even a little warmer. Though the recipe and style indicate this beer to be enjoyed fresh, we expect this beer to develop interestingly over the years.

Thanks to my mother-in-law for buying me a case. Thanks to KAggie for shipping it to me. Pours a light amber, clear with a whispy white head. Not much lacing. Aroma of sticky citrus and vanilla. Flavor is a little strong and a little sweet. Not overly sweet. Tons of hop flavor. Nice balance between the bitter hops and sticky sweetness. Bitter finish lingers. Actually, a pretty darn good DIPA.

Poured from a bomber into a plastic Citizens Bank Park plastic cup, keep it classy Philly! Pours a light amber with lots of frothy white head and lacing. Aroma is sticky piney hops. Mouthfeel is moderate and cry slightly dry. Taste is tropical fruit with a good amount of pine tossed in. I like this beer. And the more I drank of it the more I liked it. Good job St. Arnold's, good job indeed! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Thanks to Don for this. Pours a clear copper with a nice frothy off white top. Aroma is pine/floral hop with a slight sweet honey. Taste starts with a nice floral hop bitterness that is slightly resinous. After taste has a hint of peach and a lingering bitterness that stays. Nicely balanced. Would love to have this around as an everyday beer.

Bottle thanks to Caleb! Nice dark orange amber pour with nice stark white head. Aroma has notes of big citrusy oils with grapefruit and orange, lemon, leading into notes of sweet toffee and slight spice notes. Taste is nice sweet tropical fruit with some peach notes, grapefruit, leading into toffee and bready notes with a nice bitter, oily slightly piny after taste. Nice balanced double IPA, leaning towards the sweet side so reminiscent more of a barley wine. Delicious brew nonetheless.

Saint Arnold Endeavor has a thick, creamy, cream-colored head and a clear, bubbly amber appearance. Lacing is not too heavy. The aroma is of sharp pine oil and citrus, with an underlying cream cheese smell. Taste is of sweet bread, strong citrus bitterness, cheese, and the alcohol does present itself in the undertaste. Mouthfeel is medium, and Saint Arnold Endeavor finishes mostly dry and fairly easy drinking. Even with its odd, slightly off aftertaste, I still think it’s very good. RJT

Bottle shared by CLevar. Pour is honey amber color with a off white head that dissipates to a film. Aroma is dirty pine and funk. Taste is grapefruit and caramel with dirty funk. Palate is medium and sticky with a gritty dry finish.
