Saint Arnolds Fancy Lawnmower:
Howdy y’all and welcome home to the Lone Star state and it’s native brews.  Today we once again grace the door step of Saint Arnolds’ brewery in Houston and look at their other summer brew and the second half of their lawn maintenance line: Fancy Lawnmower.  Now what makes a fancy lawnmower?  Rims?  Curb feelers? Dual spinning carbon fiber blades that are diamond tipped? …sorry, got carried away there… No, it’s a special Kolsh style German beer brewed with a since of ownership.  The beer pours nicely with a slightly hazy gold color , a head about half a finger in thickness and a nose of citrus and hops with a bit of, dare I say it, grass.  The initial taste is very bitter, almost like a pilsner gone bad but it quickly mellows out to a nice crisp clean hefeweizen taste of wheat, lemons and a touch of hops.  The back-end taste is a touch skunk and sour and finishes about the same.   Not bad for a summer beer, but between this and the Weedwacker, I’d taken the later.  It finishes better and is more palatable than this one for a summer beer.  Again this might be a good beer for you, but it just doesn’t do anything for me.
