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).

Dec 20, 2008 Draft at Ginger Man Austin. Poured a clear medium orange color with an off white head. Not much in the way of aroma other than a hint of citrus fruit. Light to medium bodied and delicately sweet. Not the best flavor. I tasted some pale malt supported by white paper and bug spray notes. Eh.

Oct 19, 2008 12 oz bottle. Poured a golden amber. Noticed a sweetish hoppy nose. This has a nice mouthful, nice carbonation,. I enjoyed the IPA type hops that seemed to have some spicyness no it. Slight bitter finish. well balanced, and clearly a good session beer.

Sep 14, 2008 Had this in Houston, and I was impressed, as the craft beer scene seemed pretty thin. Bicuity, with a light hop finish. I could definitely drink a few of these.

Sep 6, 2008 Cloudy orange amber in color. Weak aroma of herbs and some citrus. Clean tasting with a bitter nutty malt finish. A nice amber overall but nothing I was excited about.

Aug 29, 2008 Dark Amber with a creamy off white head. Malty and slightly sweet. The hops need to stand out more. Overall a decent everyday beer.
