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.

Clear look, golden in color, with a nice white head. The smell is hops, toasty, caramel, malts, and pine. The taste is hops, malts, caramel, and some bitterness.

12oz bottle thanks to KAggie97. Pours a semi hazy light amber with a small off white head. Aromas of biscuity malt, and some citrus hops. Flavors are moderately sweet malts up front and a fair showing of hops. Thanks again Kevin.

Fairly decent amber ale. The mix of hops is faint enough not to detract from the taste.

12 oz bottle. Moderate off-white head dissipates quickly, pale amber color. Faint citrus, nice balance.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with with notes of caramel, leading to a dry bitter finish where the malty notes lingers. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

Not so amber, more bright yellow or gold. Had a sweet sugary aroma. Had flavors of honey,grain, and bitter hops (very light on the hops). Very crisp and refreshing. Probably rocks down in TX, in a huge cold mug, served with local fare.

Appearance: Pours a lightly hazy (as is the wont with Saint Arnold brews), copper body with a smallish, white head. Smell: Pleasant mix of bready, sweet-smelling malts and floral, citrusy hops. It sounds simple, sure, but it’s quite nice. Taste: Malts tasting of sugar and caramel sweetened bread crusts. A nice, bright burst of fresh hops add flavors of citrus, flowers, and dried herbs (yielding a light spiciness). They also impart a medium, balancing bitterness. Finishes dry and with a final touch of hop bitterness, but it doesn’t hang around too terribly long. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: A nice, well-balanced juxtaposition of sweetish, bready malts and flavorful hops make for a rather fine amber ale. Good job, Saint Arnold and thanks again, MiguelMandingo (if that even IS his real name).
