Saint Arnold ICON

I could see this beer as a good entry into craft beer. Not big and bold at all but easy to drink and smooth. Very "sessionable" beer

 

I've been so busy with work and other things....haven't had the time to track this one down. I'll prolly try this weekend.

 

I did this exact thing with a buddy of mine who only drinks bl. Hes tried a few of my other crafty options, and has never liked them. But the Icon he said was pretty good.

 

delusions of grandeur

 

I liked it. Good sessionable beer. Nice belgian yeast flavors without going overboard.

 

meh, would NOT buy this ever again, but for an entry point for belgians, could be good for him/her.

 

I wasn't a fan of it...

 

I had it on tap at the new Nobi House Republic yesterday... I like this beer.

 

I tried Icon Red on Friday at Freetail. Pretty good stuff. It kinda reminded me of De Koninck. Nothing mind-blowing, but it's a solid Belgian-style ale.

 

For those of you who haven't found any, there is a pallet sitting at HEB Montrose. No exageration.

 

Kroger's finally got their shipment as well. Should not be an issue finding this beer.

 

Yep.... seems like they made plenty... can't wait to try the next one in a few months.

I'll probably end up drinking two four packs of this before all is said and done.. and I've had one pint at Nobi.

 

Draught House has this on tap in Austin

 

This would be a good summer beer. I'd drink this over a Weedwacker hands down.

 

All day long.

 

IMO, of all the lower abv beers brewed by SA, I would say this is the most sessionable on of the lot.

 

Which begs me to ask why they released a Belgian Ale during the winter. The flavor profile of this beer fits perfectly with the summer. Porter would have worked great. Their winter stout sucks. Have they ever released a porter? mmmmmm.......512 Pecan......

 

No porter to my knowledge and I am not a fan of their stout either. I need to find some 512 Pecan.

 

I tried the stout last week and liked it... not my favorite stout... but I'll drink it again, especially if I find it on tap somewhere.

 

The only porter they have released has been the Donleavy Porter. A tribute to the author, and only available on cask at the different Gingermans around Texas. Long gone now.
