Commercial Description:
A college favorite, Lionshead carries the traditional lion symbol painted on the outside of The Brewery since the early days of brewing in Wilkes-Barre. It is a crisp, clean, easy drinking American lager-pilsner style beer made with the finest American malts, corn, and hops.

for 10 bucks a case it is hard to go wrong. it tastes like a poor mans yuengling. This beer gets points for the little quizes inside the bottle caps.

Pretty basic pale lager, corn malt aroma, similar flavor, light and crisp palate, nothing special (except maybe the $4.99 per 6 pack price tag)

12 oz. bottle. So this is evidently an unpopular opinion, but I did enjoy this beer. It has the makings of a pale lager with light hops and malt up front, but has a nice sweet note that made it really enjoyable. It seemed like there was a bit of caramel and banana in the aftertaste.

Highly disappointing...thought it’d be an innovative micro, but it’s just a macro-type beer made by a non-conglomerate. Generic American, flavorless (corn hints, malt hints, hop hints, soap more than a hint.) Damn, should have guessed by the $4.99/6-pack price! Alas...

12 oz Bottle - Pours pale gold with a thin white head. Aromas of hay, straw, lemon, and light honey. Very light body and some mild sourness and bitterness on the finish.

I’m going to echo my comments slightly to what I said about PBR. This is the better bang for your buck. PBR albeit is good considering, Lionshead beats that hands down. The aroma is pleasant a nice caramel, bread, lighlty toasted aroma. The appearance through me a bit. The color is an off golden color, and the head is not all that impressive. The taste is nice and malty, a bit doughy, is there some caramel in there? The feel is way too smooth, could drink the whole case.

Location: 12 oz bottle shared by a friend, 1/15/10

Aroma: Corn, cereal, lemon, and honey
Appearance: Clear straw color, white head
Flavor: Sweet corn and bready malts flavor
Palate: Thin and watery, light, dullish
Overall Impression: Just a drop better then some of the really bad macro lagers, but still not good.

An old college beer for me. Appreciated teh $10 cases back then. Malty sweet aroma with a touch of syrup. Pours a pale yellow color with a slight carbonated head. Has a sweet taste with a decent amount of carbonation. Really this is a micro alternative the light beers, with a better taste than I remembered. The beer just bring back some great college memories. And the picture puzzles under the cap add to the experience as the alcohol sets in.

Was my go to college beer up in Scranton. This and Carbondale Concrete are forever etched in my memory. Had a couple bottles, and this is a basic beer with a generic taste. A better choice then the typical macros. Surprisingly better then I remembered.
