Saint Arnold Brewing Company's Brown Ale

This one always looks like an amber to me. It pours a coppery amber with a light tan head that stays fairly well and moderate carbonation.

Smells like it should though. Bready and slightly nutty, it's straightforward and simple.

Light bodied but smooth, this is a very good beer for times when you want something bigger than a macro but not hoppy or heavy. Light to moderate bitterness that isn't really distinctive and doesn't weigh it down, with a good malt backbone that stays bready but also manages to stay light in feel.

For a long time this was my favorite Saint Arnold offering, but I think it now regularly rotates between this, the amber and the wheat, depending on which one I'm drinking at the time. Today, this one is it.
