| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 14, 2009 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.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 4, 2009 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).
