COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Lawnmower Light is our intro for those who need a little help jumping feet first into the crazy world that is Dogfish Head beer. It's a starter beer, but it's not dumbed down. Lawnmower is made with quality ingredients and is a great thirst quencher - perfect to enjoy after a day in the sun mowing the lawn (or anything else that gets you hot and bothered)!

A crisp American original brewed to 10deg. plato from American 2-row pale malt and 20% corn and expertly balanced with 9 IBU's.

savnac (2056) - Anchorage, Alaska, USA - NOV 3, 2009
On tap @ Dogfish Alehouse Falls Church. Hazy yellow with a pure white head. Very, very faint aroma of grains and hops. Flavor is light and sweet with very mild hop bitterness. Light body with average carbonation and a very crisp refreshing finish. Got this for the hell of it, knowing that it would probably be my only chance to try it.

Elwood (2491) - Leesburg, Virginia, USA - AUG 17, 2009
Serving: Draft @ the Falls Church tap house. Appearance: Pale yellow with a slight, foamy white head. Aroma: Very light nose with grassy notes and some grain. Taste: Lemon, slight bit of grain. Very clean. Mouthfeel: Medium carbonation with a light, dry mouthfeel. Short finish. Overall: Just not all that great. Rebuy: Not with much better beers to purchase on tap. Seems a little pricey all things considered.

blipp (4782) - Newark, New Jersey, USA - AUG 8, 2009
Draft. Pours yellow with a thin white head. Very light aroma with a light malty base. The flavor has some grainy malt and very low bitterness. Decent.

bobbypaulson (217) - Fergus Falls, Minnesota, USA - JUN 10, 2009
Had this at the RB brewpub my first time there when I tried the sampler platter. It’s not bad it’s just average it was good to try it but my palate was ready for something more extreme. Not a bad first beer for people who are scared of some of their crazy amazing beers.

(Sample Date: 2/28/2009 Source:Other) At Gaithersburg MD Pub. Very light floral hops in nose. Clear golden. Very light APA. Floral grassy hop flavor of light caramel. Dry lightly bitter finish.

Immy (1955) - Virginia Beach, USA - MAY 27, 2009
On tap at Rehoboth. Clear yellow with a white head. Lightly grainy nose, some grass. Bland flavor - this is the macro knockoff that seems to be required by brewpubs, just not as crappy.

Drake (6488) - Ivy, Virginia, USA - MAY 26, 2009
Sampled on draft at Beer Run in Charlottesville, VA. Pours a clear amber color with a large head, good head retention and lacing. Aroma of sweet malts, sweet corn and light grassy hops. Taste is very similar... sweet corn and grain, but with more pronounced and bitter hop notes. Sweet throughout but not cloying. Well balanced. Very nice.

WeeHeavySD (3356) - San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA - MAY 15, 2009
Sample At Falls Church alehouse. Pours gold with a bright white head. Nose is sweet. Taste is sweet, and overall pretty tasty.

docsteigs (429) - Texas, USA - MAY 12, 2009
Nice light beer. Good thirst quencher. Don’t hate just because it is 4.3%. As nice a light beer as you’ll find. Wish they bottled it for $7 / 6-pack.
