St. Arnold Brown Ale

Alright here's another local Houston brewery, St. Arnold Brewing Co.  This is Texas' oldest craft brewery, and they have a strong following for a reason.  Some pretty damn drinkable and refreshing beers.  The way I like to test out a new brewery is to give their Brown Ale a try.  St. Arnold's Brown is along the style of an American Brown.  Enough yapping, time to drink.

Aroma - Pleasant caramel, nutty notes.  There is a faith chocolate aroma mixed in there.  Hints of floral hops present.  No fruity esters or off-aromas.

Appearance - This one is a little on the lighter side for an American Brown Ale.  Dark copper, clear, thin off-white head.

Flavor - Smooth, slightly sweet caramel note followed by chocolate.  Little to no roast present.  Hints of citrusy American hops accompanied by a refreshing hop bitterness.  A nice clean beer.

Mouth-feel - Medium carbonation.  Very drinkable and smooth.

Overall -  Good beer.  Smooth caramelly chocolate malt with a hint of citrus hops.  Nice and drinkable.  Very good with a burger!
