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.

Dirty copper pour, next to no lhead or lacing. The aroma was of rotten cardboard and metal. The flavor was bready and caramel malt, metallic notes and some wet dog. Really, really fruity sweet with next to no hops to balance it out. Oily mouthfeel. Ugh, by far the worst of my Saint Arnold’s tastings to date.

Seemed slightly light in color to me, but, despite that there was a slight malty-orangeyness on the palate with a lingering finish that made pulled me in for another.

Has a nice floral hop aroma with a very distinct hop flavor. Makes me think of an IPA rather than an Amber but still very good.

WOW. I’ve drank this since It came out when the brewery opened and now I’m just rating it. 12 oz bottle. Filtered and bright gold. No head with a mild hoppy nose. Nice mild hop profile with a strong malt profile similar to other St. A. beers. A bit sweet and a lighter body that possesses a session-style and drinkability to this beer. Well done. This was a standard bearer for a couple of years in H-town when it came out. Now it seems a bit tame but it’s refreshing to revisit this beer from time to time.

The beer poured a light clear amber with an off white head. The nose was a light mix of caramel and fruit. The taste was watery and washed out, but I could pickup on some note of caramel and malt. I found the beer it be drinkable but not something I would write home about.

This is a solid beer from SA. Love the slightly bitter finish and malt body. Lovely lacing. Could a little more time on the tongue, and I detected a metallic finish in two different tastings. Couldn’t call it flaw though. I’d get in again for sure.

My thanks go out to JVD for this one Bottle poured into my pint glass produced a quickly fading white head that turned to a light lace. The color lf the body was more of a copper than amber The aromas of malts and a light citrus almost sour smell Good biscuit flavor from the yeast slightly bitter from the hops. Crisp on the tongue and a light, clean mouthfeel to it A good sessionable brew thanks again Deniz

Golden color beer with a frothy egg shell head that crackled as it receded. Caremel corn orange peel nose. Caramel sweetness, bready malts, lemon citrus with a clean lemon bitterness in the finish. Doesn’t feel like an amber ale, but an easy to drink ale nonetheless.
