I can not believe that I never got around to rating this one. Every summer, it is my favorite beer- it is all I drink when I visit the saucer- just very refreshing with a ton of character.

Tasty and refreshing pilsner. Dry hoppy flavors stand well.

now this is a pilsener! light fruit and grains, with a good firm mouth feel. during the season, this always is in my fridge.

WOW, For a pilsner this beer tastes friggin great!!! I’ve never tasted a pilsner with so much complexity. Beutiful white head that leaves a little something down the glass...I LOVE Saint Arnold Beers and here’s another to prove why!!

Excellent, underrated pils. Bready with herbal hops. Nice and hoppy for the style.

Bottle. Very carbonated - almost seems like champagne in appearance. Nice foamy head atop a light golden color. Yeasty and fruity smell. Leaves a slightly doughy aftertaste in the mouth. Enjoyable and easy to drink.

Saint Arnold Summer Pils has a very thin, white head and a slightly hazy, straw appearance. Some decent lacing is left behind. The aroma is a delightful bready malt, and the taste is a sugary, confectionery sweet, white bread flavor with a mildly bitter hop bite. The mouthfeel is light and watery, and Saint Arnold Summer Pils finishes crisp, clean, and refreshing. Overall, this is a delicious offering from the Saint Arnold Brewing Company.

A good summer beer as it is refreshing and clean, little or no after taste. A drinkable brew.

TB, Text Book-Tim Burgess-same thing. Pours creamy yellow with a tall lasting head. Good lacing with aromas of barnyard hops. Medium nectar with good residual carbonation. Malty sweetness balanced by fresh grassy hops. Goes down like cold milk after a plate of the finest Mexican food. The finish lingers with citrus rind. A rather nice specimen worthy of a better score.

UPDATED: OCT 11, 2005 Poured yellow and fizzy with a thin white head...smell was very faint (perhaps I had an old bottle), but what was there was a little skunky and faint soap...taste was much heavier malted than I’d thought...sour nasty finish...

Yellow with little head...a little lemony aroma...nothing too amazing here...definately crisp and refreshing though...

UPDATED: NOV 9, 2010 Bottles courtesy of kaggie97 and northernbrews. Pours golden/yellow, with decent white head. Decent aroma of, earthy/grassy hop, lemon, light pils malt, cereal. Flavor much the same, faint lemongrass, cereal, pils malt, well balanced. Could be a little more carbonated other than that, pretty solid offering.
