    Drinking one now. Solid, very enjoyable beer. It's not a huge, complex beer, but it's a pale, not an IPA, so it seems to be right on the mark. Good start for the series.

    I'm not saying it has to be a big beer to be any good. It just seems that for Saint Arnolds to make a great tasting brew they tend to be a little higher in abv. Given that, I have had many great, really flavorful beers that were sessionable. Commercial Suicide for example. Tons of flavor 3.5% abv.

    I work nights so it's my evening time. With that said, poured an ICON up. A little darker than expected. Taste is good. Nice balanced malt body with a nice floral taste with a hint of citrus to round it out. Very refreshing after a good work out and long night at work. Good beef Saint Arnold. Will be buying more.

    Not bad, not great. It's very easy drinking.

    I think they made a beer that could be a regular in their lineup.
