Style: American IPA
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 7.10%
Availability: Year-round
Notes / Commercial Description:
Endeavour is a double IPA. The color is deep amber with a light, creamy head. The nose starts off with a touch of citrus but then turns decidedly into peaches. The taste starts off with creamy malt resulting from the pale 2 row and caramel malts and Saint Arnold yeast. The hop bitter starts low then builds to a crescendo, but always maintains a balance even in its big finish. The hop flavor continues to be peaches, an interesting manifestation of the Columbus, Simcoe and Centennial hops.

Great orange amber color. Smell of hops with some malt in the background. Very bright flavor that lingers long after, but in a good way. The high abv will definetly sneak up on you. I'm a local from a Houston suburb so I guess I'm a little biased, but I like almost anything St Arnold puts out.

Serving: On tap at the brewery, served in a shaker pint glass.
Appearance: Clear, bright copper with a slowly fading head of creamy off white head and a nice pattern of sticky lace.
Smell: Pine, mixed citrus peel and a lightly toasted biscuit malt.
Taste: Harmonious malt body with spearmint, citrus oils and slightly dank, earthy hops. Finishes clean with a healthy bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Medium body with lively but gentle carbonation.
Overall: Saint Arnold's first IPA stays true to a little older, balanced style - tasty and drinkable.

Darker than average ipa, 3/4" off white head. The aroma had a little bit of citrus, but not a substantial amount, like a small breeze brought it to you from somewhere afar.
Taste went more grapefruit, a tiny bit of orange, went with more toasted honey and pale malts than crystal. Relatively malty still, this was probably the first Texas ipa I ever had, no doubt they had to ease into the lupulin threshold shift. Still good.

Darker for an IPA, but good all around. Strong hops and hints of citrus. Good level of carbonation that complements the hops. Very refreshing on a hot day. Enjoyed it!

Beer pours great looks awesome. Cloudy almost red. I've never got into IPAs. SO this isn't a beer that I'll be buying again.
