Commercial Description:
A kolsch-style ale. When you need a beer after mowing the lawn, don't drink one of the mass produced beers, reach for this "fancy" lawnmower beer.

Has a grassy aroma that compliments the name. The taste is sorta like various weeds from my back yard. There is a nice balance between sweetness and bitterness making it very easy to drink. I had a couple after mowing and they are a nice compliment to it. Not sure if this one would be a pick other than when mowing.

short 12oz twist-off bottle. golden pour, white head. Aroma of honey lemon tea. Clean malt, floral hops. Flavor is of tortilla chips. Almost overly refreshing. I could kill hundreds of these. A wonderful summer time beverage. Corn chips, fried green plantains, light barley, floral hops. 4,3,5,3,13

Yellow with a faint haze. Small head that dissolves into nothing. Grainy, bitter taste. Finishes thin and bland.

Bottle shared at the CA-GA cultural beer exchange hosted by alexanderj. Clear yellowish gold, with white head. Aroma is slightly sweet grain, earthy but not bitter, mostly floral hops. Some grassy yeast and pilsner / lightly bready malt also.

Bottle; KieferUGA nailed in on the style. Poured a clear gold, lots of visible carbonation streams. Aroma was malty and bready with some hints of yeast and grass. Flavor was very bready and biscuity; some grass in the finish. I thought it was more of a pils when I had it, but it was still surprisingly good.

2008 Bottle. Generally disappointing, I can understand why they call it a Lawnmower ale. It actually does smell like grass, due to the hops and citrus aroma combination. The flavor made me describe it as "swill," just because I was offended by the clashing palate of hops and malt liquorish flavor. Not worth drinking.
