Saint Arnold Summer Pils

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

I was wondering why my host was so eager to offer me this beer from his fridge. Wow, what a palate killer.
This beer pours a very light golden in color. Crystal clear with a slight, white head sitting atop. Smell is slightly funky, skunky and bready. Oh, and the taste only gets better. More of the skunk shows up in the taste, as well as some smoke like qualities. And it lingers on way longer than it needs to. I couldn’t get this taste out of my mouth. This is a far cry from the Victory Prima Pils I had about a week ago.

Pours a crystal clear, light golden color. A foamy, white head leaves some nice, jagged lines of lace behind. Aromas include sweet pale malts, biscuit, grassy hops, and freshly cut cereal grains. Flavors are light and crisp, with the clean, sharp grass notes cutting right through the delicate, toasty malts and balancing things out perfectly. There’s a touch of peppery spice in there as well. Medium bodied and smooth, it drinks super easy and finishes as clean as a whistle, with a fresh, grassy aftertaste. This is a really nice summertime session beer.

TB, Text Book-Tim Burgess-same thing. Pours creamy yellow with a tall lasting head. Good lacing with aromas of barnyard hops. Medium nectar with good residual carbonation. Malty sweetness balanced by fresh grassy hops. Goes down like cold milk after a plate of the finest Mexican food. The finish lingers with citrus rind. A rather nice specimen worthy of a better score.

bottle from maltomeal: pours a light cloudy golden colour with a small white head that stays. aroma is sweet and kinda sugary with some toasted malts, fresh apricots and small touches of hops. the flavour is very sticky sweet and plenty of grain taste, bitter adn finishes with a lingering taste that is not so nice.

Draught. Pleasant pils. Standard pils appearance and aroma. Flavour was dominated with sharply bitter hops driving the big tastes. Decently balanced though. Sticky lacing covered the glass.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear, light yellow-gold with a thin white head. Smell is pilsner all the way with grassy hops. Taste is grassy with some malt. Mouthfeel is clean and crisp, medium with some carbonation. A good summertime beer especially after just mowing the lawn.

(bottle - thanks Swalden_28) pale gold with white head. Citrus/grassy hops. Flavor is light malt, citrus/grassy hops, crisp finish. An excellent summer beer.

bottle, big foamy head that fades to soap, golden yellow color, malty nose with a malt flavor and hop finish
