Saint Arnold Fancy Lawnmower Ale

Brewed by Saint Arnold Brewing Company
Style: Kölsch
Houston, Texas USA

This is a very pale yellow, almost clear brew with minimal carbonation and foam. The aroma has a hint of hops and grain, and not a whole lot more. The taste is clean, slightly corny and sweet. I will say one thing, it’s very easy to drink! Thin palate, and hardly any alcohol presence, start to finish. The body actually reminds me of slightly less fizzy carbonated water with a little sour bitterness at the end. OK I can imagine drinking this in summer, and I do like it better than the cheap mass-produced beers, but do I like it enough to pay for a full six-pack? Maybe. It’s OK but not one of Saint Arnold’s best offerings.

I don’t know why I expected more, but I did. It’s not bad. I wanted more hops. The color is light. The palate is light. Spreads out in the mouthfeel. Friendly, not fancy. But go Saint Arnold!

A particularly light lager, with barely any hop presence at all, and the malts are also very light. A little dryish, and plain, without any subtle complexities. Herbal, but bitter and sour finish. Not great. I actually prefer Sam Adams lager.

Hot summer Sunday so this seemed like a good choice. Another one of the beers I brought back from my trip to Texas and this one isn’t anywhere near the caliber of the IPA. Pours a light golden color, with a thin white fizzy head. Soft and sweet, light and fizzy. Refreshing, but a with a sharp bitter aftertaste in the end. Not the best i’ve seen this style done, but not a crap beer either.

12 oz bottle: poured clear, almost pale yellow with no head. Light fruit aroma- a touch of lemon and maybe orange. Flavor is lightly fruity with lemon and grapes, mild malt and zero hops. Mild corn finish. Moderate sweetness. Refreshing and easy drinking.

Poured a clear very yellow. Streams of bubbles but minimal head. Sweet grainy aroma with some citrus notes. The flavor matched, grainy and sweet. Dull carbonation.

Thanks to kaggie97 for this one. Poured light golden/yellow with a white head. Aroma was that skunky rubber found in macro pale lagers. Very little malt with a fizzy corn extract flavor. God aweful.

On tap @ Brewery: Golden yellow color, nearly no head, white. Aroma of malts, something else(plants?, grass?) Light watery taste, aftertaste of malts, nutty, fresh, fizzy, light tasting, sour front-taste, water-like, headache-inducing.
