SAINT ARNOULD MUCHACHA EXTRA PALE ALE
Notwithstanding explosive carbonation and uncertain Southwestern motif-moniker, cloudy pearly-headed light-bodied pale ale retains sunshiny citric-hopped nature. Prolonged fizz hides cotton-candied banana bubblegum sweetness and appeasing orange-apricot mildness.
SAINT ARNOULD BLANCHE DES ANGES
Vibrant artisan white ale retains sparkling wine effervescence and juniper-sniped tangerine-grapefruit souring. Lilting floral urging adds depth to slender currant bittering.
SAINT ARNOLD SPRING BOCK
Modest reddish amber bock tightropes thin mocha-raisin tier to thinner fruited nut finish. Along the way, muted black chocolate and dark caramel fade to gray.
SAINT ARNOLD OKTOBERFEST
Insistent pumpkin protraction gains sweet ‘n’ sour dark fruit variance, mild cereal grained barley roasting, and nutty jot for well-rounded autumn treasure.
SAINT ARNOLD KRISTALL WEIZEN
Serene gold-hazed German-style wheat beer (later named Texas Wheat) augments soft mocha rim with dry rye enticement. Minor metallic astringency at diminished white wheat-floured finish displaces faint citric tartness and repressed banana-almond merger.
SAINT ARNOLD FANCY LAWNMOWER KOLSCH
Sessionable white-headed pale-bodied lightweight frames dry wheat chaff, grassy Hallertau-hopped spicing and earthen mineral grains with continuous barley ascent as soft underlying fruit-nut resonation beckons. Relaxing lawnmowing fare for the proleteriat.
SAINT ARNOLD BROWN ALE
Complex translucent chestnut-amber pils-lager crossover captures softer palates with gentle grain influx and lingering hop bite, bringing lilting fruit undertones to concealed chocolate whim. Dry grape, cherry, and nut add further refinement.
SAINT ARNOLD AMBER ALE
Named after patron saint of brewers, Saint Arnold remains the pride of modern Texas zymurgy. Caramelized cereal grain overlay retains subtle mocha ebb and buttery malt tide to metallic-etched citric finish. Gaunt lemony orange bitterness seeps through spice-hopped midst.
SAINT ANTOINE BLANCHE
Slightly turbid off dry light body smoother, less bitter than brewers’ Honey Pale, countering mild orange succulence and sunny peach undertones with grassy wheat backdrop for superb summer refreshment.
SAINT ANTOINE HONEY PALE ALE
Cloudy sunset hued, fluffy eggshell-headed dry body overlays bright orange tang, subtle honey bitterness and minor apple resilience with increasing wood tones. No longer brewed as of 2006. Below is a picture of Saint Antoine Abbe.
SAINT ANTOINE HONEY BROWN ALE
Honeyed butterscotch frontage loses some distinction by dry bitter finish, but chocolate-toffee malts and collateral tangerine-peach-apple mediation deepen earthy bottom of rust orange-hued medium body. No longer brewed as of 2006.
