DRAFT REVIEW: Saint Arnold Amber Ale
RATING
93

Saint Arnold’s flagship brew pours bright gold with lovely orange highlights. Its juicy hop aroma teems with grapefruit notes complemented by a soft floral accent. Deep, caramelized, toffeelike malts have a slightly grainy roughness that stimulates the tongue. Hops in this amber are bold with citrus flavors, though they do not bring a bitter bite. As the flavors begin to fade, a surprising floral hop note emerges, bringing an extra moment of beauty to the swallow. With its neatly compartmentalized flavors, low alcohol, and clean finish, this well-composed beer easily slays the biggest thirst.
