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.

Bottle shared by Dogbrick. Cloudy orange in color with a medium off-white head. Creamy caramel aroma with hints of toffee and yeast. Creamy caramel flavor that is almost milky with a bitter hop finish.

Slightly cloudy light amber pour into my pub glass didn’t produce any head and minimal lacing. Smells reiminiscent of apricots, sweet a rather nice bouquet. First impression is a light zingy carbonation, and a pretty dominant hop flavor that is just chewy enough to avoild being a light bodied beer. As other have said, a hint of something pepper-y but not a bad complexity. Good for two or three beers, might wear a little bit if I had more.

Yet another bottle from ericandersnavy. Thanks again man! Pours rather copper with very little off-white head. Aroma of light roast caramel and light citrus - with something like pepper. Medium body with creamy/frothy carbonation. There’s a good dose of lighter stone fruit flavors, followed by caramel, with some hot bits towards the end. A good amber.

Six pack. Aroma is some caramel and nuts. Tastes like nuts, malts, and just a little hops.

Amber pour with small white head. Nice and carmelly nutty with a fair dose of hop flavor and bitterness.

Draft at Fox and Hound, College Station. Amber with a small lasting head. Aroma is caramel and wood. Taste is similar with some grassy notes and light apple. Light-medium body is tingly and semi-dry.

Light Golden color. Thick white froth for a head. Smells of malt and hops. Not a very strong aroma, I get little hints of bread/wheat and maybe some carmel. The beer is a little off balance. Malty, bitter, creamy, buttery. It’s just not put together right. The palate is off. I’m not sure I’ll be having another one of these.

Pours orange with a fizzy white , fast diminishing head. Nose is malt and bisquit. Taste is sweet, with notes of malt and caramel balanced with mild hop bitterness. Good stuff.
