    Beer pours a translucent copper-red with a thin layer of tan bubbles for a head. Aroma is funk, tart fruit, and vinegar. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, and very much alive with carbonation. Flavour has both sweet and tart cherry flavours along with funk and earthy notes. Very enjoyable.

    Pours a translucent medium gold colour with plenty of effervescence, but almost no head. Aroma is herbal hops and grainy malt. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. The flavour is underwhelming to say the least, quite acidic with grassy notes and weak hops. Not going to become a regular any time soon

    Pours a translucent golden red with a very thin layer of light tan colured bubbles for a head. Aroma is tart cherries, funk, and yeast..........very saison-like. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with average carbonation. Tart fruits and yeast domninate the flavour with some spiciness and herbal notes rounding it out.

    The beer pours a solid dark black with a creamy light brown head. The aroma is vanilla, roasted malt, and coffee. Mouthfeel is full bodied, creamy with average carbonation. The flavour is bitter coffee, some chocolate sweetness, yet there is a subtle rum note that is almost lost, but can be detected.

    The beer pours a semi-translucent brown colour with red hues and a dark tan frothy head. The aroma is roasted malt, yeast, and earthy notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, almost champagne-like, with above average carbonation. The flavour is roasted malt, burnt wood, and a bit or tart/funk. An interesting take on a style I could care less about to begin with.

    Lawnmower beer #1. The beer pours a slightly hazed light gold colour with a very thin white ring for a head. The aroma is malted grains and a weak hint of lemon. The mouthfeel is light bodied with above average carbonation. The flavour was a like a weak lemon soda pop. Lager crispness but no lager flavour. Not very good at all.

    Lawnmower beer #2. The beer poured a translucent red-tinged gold with a thin white head. The aroma was pine, grapefruit and grains. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was light grapefruit and bready malt. A crisp refreshing drink but falls considerably short of the Hawai'ian description found in the initial press release

    Lawnmower beer #3. The beer pours a hazed golden yellow colour with a thin white ring of a head, yet a thinner smaller ring than the shandy produced. The aroma is light wheat, grains, and yeast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with slightly above average carbonation. The flavour has a light fruity sweetness to it with a dose of wheat and grass. The extra carbonation does come as a surprise at first. A one and done beer at best.
