Amber Ale
A rich, malty body with a pleasant caramel character from Caravienne malt, a complex hop aroma with a hint of floral and citrus from Cascade and Liberty hops, and a light fruitiness from the ale yeast. It was Saint Arnold's first official brew in June 1994 and has not changed since the end of that year, after the first production batch turned out to be an accidental IPA that 17 people in Houston loved. Bronze at the 2023 World Beer Cup.
