Poured from can into tulip, good 1 finger head, soso retention, great lacing. Hazy pale golden in the glass. Citrus and tropical candy on the nose. Citrus and canned fruit on the front, sweetness flows thru the middle, but a good firm bitterness shuts it down. Residual candied fruit on the palate, easy drinker, and quit well built

 

 

Hazy pale gold color, with a substantial head. Aroma offers big, fresh citrus notes, with a little hoppy spiciness. Rather light bodied--actually quite light-bodied--for the strength, with not all that much bitterness, but a lot of hop flavor. Very drinkable! If it weren't for the strength printed on the can, I would guessed this was a session IPA. It's certainly deceptive. Worth getting again, I think.

Very standard and a bit boring IPA. Poured from tap at the brewery into an English style pint glass. Slightly hazy yellow color with good head and lacing. Smell and taste somewhat piney but subdued. The feel is fine but this isn’t a beer I would get again.

The ABV falls within the typical range for an American IPA, and the IBU, although on the lower end of the scale, is still within the acceptable range for the style. The appearance of the beer, with a light golden color and a bit of haziness, is also characteristic of an American IPA.

The aroma, with citrusy notes of lemon and grapefruit, is pleasant and indicative of the style. The taste profile, with upfront crispness followed by lemon zest and mild grapefruit flavors, along with a balanced bitterness from the hops, is also in line with what one would expect from an American IPA.

The lighter mouthfeel mentioned in the description may deviate slightly from the typically medium-bodied American IPA, but it is not necessarily disappointing, as it can provide a refreshing and easy-drinking experience.

Overall, while it may not be as strong as some other American IPAs, this beer is still well worth trying and appears to be a decent representation of the style.

 

Ordered on tap from Saint Arnold’s brewery. Great hazy IPA all around.

 

Easy to drink. The distinctive flavor is not overwhelming.

 

Poured from a can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a hazy yellow-orange color with a puffy head of white foam. The head has a good level of retention, fading slowly over time and leaving tons of foamy lace on the sides of the glass.
Smell – The aroma is strong of an orange and tangerine smell mixed with some aromas of tropical fruits (mango and pineapple). Along with these smells comes some hop aromas of grapefruit and herb as well as some bread and cracker malt.
Taste – The taste begins with crisp cracker and caramel malt flavor mixed with other flavors of tangerine, pineapple, and mango. Along with these flavors comes hop tastes of grapefruit and a bit of herb and pine. As the taste advances, the fruit fades, except for the pineapple which gets a bit stronger. At the same time more cracker malt and caramel come to the tongue all while the hop seems to lighten a bit all while a touch of lemongrass comes onto the scene. At the end one is left with a rather crisp ad clean, more lightly hopped taste to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the brew is medium in thickness with a carbonation level that is medium in effervescence. Overall, the feel is pretty good and makes for an easy drinker.
Overall – A rather nice crisp and clean drinker. Good for a warm summer/fall day.

Drinkable albeit underwhelming given the myriad better expressions of a turbid pale ale on the market. Hop profile is pleasantly citrusy with vague tropical leanings...I've had a thousand beers just like this.

$10.99 USD plus tax per sixer at a Central Market in Austin is fine, but I'd sooner buy Sierra Nevada Pale Ale for ~$7.99-$8.49 a sixer at Walmart if I'm fiending for a pale ale.

Saint Arnold delivers a solid enough pale ale here, but it isn't so strong I'd nab another sixer knowingly.
