Of brewing, to be exact. His name is Arnou – ‘St. Arnou’ to you non-saintly types out there. Check out the story here.

st-arnou-resized2Brewed in Sydney, Australia, this batch of St. Arnou Premium Light is not a mass beer brand. Definitely not a microbrew either. Boutique beer? Maybe. Taste-wise, it’s ‘Saaz Hops’ give it a very distinct, almost sour taste. Full bodied and clear straw-coloured, goes down pretty easy. I wouldn’t necessarily categorise it as crisp.’ St Arnou comes in Pale Ale and Premium Blonde variants too.  I noted that its an award winner at the Sydney Royal Beer Competition.

Would I buy it again? Hmm… maybe. Not the Premium Light, for sure. I think the complex taste from the hops or brewing process doesn’t do it for me. But that’s just me. You guys try and let me know what you think.
