Aug 11, 2008 Pours a bit light, more yellow than amber, thin head. Wonderful yeasty and fruity aroma. Very, very nice. Taste is a bit more malty than you’d expect for an IPA but still nice and hoppy/fruity. Very nice.

Aug 8, 2008 12oz bottle via trade with ogglethorp. Thanks Brian! Pours a translucent, fizzy, orange amber with a frothy, thick slightly off white head. Nice citrus, fruity aroma with grapefruits, oranges, and lemons along some biscuits and crackers and a little bit of chewy grains. Flavor is very bitter at first with the grapefruit, pine and a little soap all at the front. Flavor ends a little bit of caramel, some toast, brown bread, and Ritz crackers. Finish has plenty of citrus like bitterness while also a bit dry.

Jul 19, 2008 12 oz. bottle courtesy of secret santa. Pours a hazy orange amber color with a medium sized frothy beige head. The aroma had the standard citrus hops and caramel malt found in many IPAs but added honey and floral notes as well. The flavor is well balanced between the caramel malt and citrusy hops. I also get some pine and floral notes. This is light/medium bodied and at times seems a bit watery. This is easy to drink and a good choice on a hot summer day.

Jul 14, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours cloudy dark orange with a moderate sized offwhite head, specks of lace. Smells grassy hoppy with a major malt presence. Big and slightly sweet malts on the nose. Tastes slight hoppy grassy with quite a bit of nuttiness, from the malts I think. Malts are sweet as well. Medium body, good carbonation.

Jul 8, 2008 Second bottle from mar today! This one is really awesome as well...I think a tad underrated. Amber pour with a medium sized head that sticks around and offers some nice lacing. Aroma is christmas trees and sweet malt. Flavor is very pine tree like and has a pretty nice kick bitterness from the hops. A nice malt bacground makes this well balanced. Very good.

Jun 29, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a thin dense head that shows very good retention with a constant stream of bubbles coming up from the bottom of the glass. There was a small amount of delicate lacing around the glass as well. The aroma is balanced with the malts and hops both contributing. The hops are represented by pine scents and are balanced by the slight sweetness of caramel malts. The taste is slightly hoppier than the smell with both citrus and floral tastes coming through on top fo the caramel malt background. The finish is a little bitter with the hops coming back. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with high carbonation and a slight pine resin stickiness. This is a quite drinkable and balanced IPA that doesn’t wipe out the palate in the process. A nice offering from Saint Arnold.
