COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A true bohemian-style pilsner. Crisp and refreshing, this beer is perfect for a hot summer day. Saint Arnold Summer Pils has a delicate, sweet malt taste complemented by an abundant hop aroma and flavor. This beer is brewed with fine German malt, and a copious quantity of "noble" hops imported from the Czech Republic. Saint Arnold Summer Pils is best consumed at 36° Fahrenheit

Not sure why the crowns on Ratebeer are ranking in mid 2’s? Ranking this beer against it’s peers in the Summer Pils Lager category, I think this stands up very nicely. Pours straw yellow with grassy malted nose. Taste is strong pilsner, without the skunking of a Heineken. Very refreshing, light, sessionable. (But I was just done with mowing the lawn - Perhaps that is why it tasted so good.)

Not one of the best summer pils I’ve had. It reminds me of some of the lesser imports.

ATLBeerDog (280) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - SEP 14, 2008
Pours a slightly cloudy pale/yellow with a ¼ inch white head. Smells of citrusy saaz hops. First sip is bitter sweet. This Pilsner is clean and refreshing. It seems to have a higher hop profile than others in its class.

yngwie (10760) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - SEP 1, 2008
Bottle. Clear, pale golden body with a white head. Cellarish, plastic-like aroma with pale malt. Pale malt, some fruits and hops, and a little note of plastic in the flavor. Thin body and not much bitterness. I was hoping for a crisper, hoppier and more pronounced beer. Disappointing. As I’m so much against the grain, it would be lovely to have another. (080822)
