Saint Arnold Texas Wheat

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

courtesy of lowgear. Pours clear golden, thin white head. Aroma of wheat, yeast and malts. Taste is similar, added malts and light caramel; with a herbal/pine hoppy mix.

this used to be the krystalweizen but change the name to accomodate the difficult time people were having saying the name This pours a golden color with alot of clarity due to filtration I am sure. The nose is that oven oven fresh bread and is reqal nice. This is not a hefe, so if you are looking for a hefe go eleswhere, this is a texas wheat. It has a real bready tast on the mouth and is very nice to drink but will fill you up quickly Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 04-09-2008 16:32:22

Bottle courtesy of theisti. Pours a slightly hazy straw/gold with a fluffy white head that diminishes fairly quickly. The nose is a dusty and slightly musty wheat with a faint citrus note in the background. Light-bodied and thin with a mildly wheat/grainy mouthfeel. The flavor is of lightly dry "wheaty" malt with subtle citric and cardboard notes. There’s nothing particularly exciting or offensive about this beer. It’s just a decent, quaffable wheat. I would imagine that this is a summer staple in a lot of Texans’ refrigerators. Thanks for the bottle, Tim.

Bottle. Golden color somewhat hazy in look with a slight white head. Smell is wheat, malts, grassy, and a little yeast. Taste is malts, wheat, sweet, maybe some spices.

Says wheat but does not taste of wheat...that’s a good thing. I liked this one.

Light yellow in color and hazy with an average sized white head. Aroma is of wheat, grass, and yeast. Taste is of wheat, a little citrus, and spices.

Straw yellow with a modest head. Not much in the aroma department, although I was looking for aromas associated with wheat ale. Lots of grain up front, with subtle flavors of banana and bitter hops. SA’s best session beer out of the bunch.

Appearance: Pours a hazy, golden body with an inch of fizzy, white head. Smell: Soft, supple wheat aroma with support, though mild notes of spice and watered down lemon juice. Floral hops also bring a vague, distant hint of pine needles. Taste: Malted wheat with a touch of graininess to it and a light overall sweetness. Floral hop character, though, as with the nose, there’s that far off touch of pine. Mild bitterness. The lemons finally make an appearance near the end. Even in the crisp, dry finish you still can’t shake that grain flavor. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium-high, somewhat spritzy carbonation. Drinkability: A very bare bones, no thrills wheat ale, but it serves its purpose as a highly drinkable, simple brew with an appealingly low ABV percentage.
