Saint Arnold Brown Ale

Brewed by Saint Arnold Brewing Company
Style: Brown Ale
Houston, Texas USA

thx to kawa, bottle, smelled malty and sweet, almost reminded me of a dopplebock. pour was a mix of brown and orange shades, a little bit of fuzzy head, but nothing substantial. flavor was solid, with malts and slight hop tones making up the most of the taste. the chocolates were there if you look pretty hard, but mainly came through just as a generic sweetness. medium body and mouthfeel. i liked this quite a bit, easily the best of the 4 st arnolds i got from walt.

Light, fruity, fizzy, apples and earthy maltiness, end not-quite-dry, and nondescript. An easy drinker. Brown-red color, some fizzy head that diminished. Tannins.

Thanks to TChrome for this. Pours deep copper, almost ruby with smallish white head. Aroma of malt,dark fruit, cabernet, slight female gymnastics arena. Tastes malty, with some choc, hops, some fruitiness (berries), and some dry red winey qualities. Finishes crisp and semi-dry. Somewhat lacking in complexity and mouthfeel, but not bad. I just had the brown after the amber, and I placed it to the right of the amber. I knew an Amber Brown in high school, and man did she put out!

Poured a medium brownish red color with a small head. Malty and nutty aroma. Sweet flaver with a little bitterness and a carboard finish. I’m not a big fan of brown ales but this is not bad.

I must begin this brief review by stating that I am not a big advocate of the brown ale style. However, the Saint Arnold version of the is up to par with the Newcastle and Samuel Smith Nut Brown in my opinion. It also is a bargian at $6/six-pack if you live in Texas. Very consistant every time that I have consumed it, and I can see why Brock remains dedicated to brewing this Brown year-round. I just wish he would do the same for the Christmas Ale.

Thanks to Kawa for sending this my way! Brown with orange tint, OK head. Aroma slightly sweet and malt, hint of vegetation. Mostly sweet, caramel oriented flavors, very light bitterness. Almost more of a bock than a brown. Interesting.

Sweet and caramelly malt aroma is pleasant if not terribly exciting. Clear copper-brown with shy, white, fully-diminishing head. Sweet caramelly flavour with some chocolate and a touch of alcohol in the finish. Fairly light bodied and quite still. Bottle. Thanks, Kawa!

Pour is brown with a thin off white head...smell is mostly sweet malts...taste is thin and quite generic even for this style...strange bitter medicinal aftertaste...
