COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle: Filtered.
Ingredients: Water; Barley malt; Hops, Yeast.
We’ve been brewing Lion Lager in Sri Lanka since 1881. Lion Lager is made from the very best ingredients - it’s malty, refreshing, and natural tasting. This is a beer of character for people of character.

ABV ranges from 4.1% to 4.8%

Bottle from an Indian grocer in Wembley. Expectations were low. Surprisingly deep golden colour, this was a relatively malty tropical lager, had some (if not enough) hop. Went quite well with my curry. It’s a dull lager but this sample avoided any nasties and was refreshing enough.

Strange maltiness in this beer. Darker flavor than other lagers from non beer countries. Oh well, i added a new country to my list. Bought at the Drinks of the World store in zurich.

kiwianer (2314) - Mönchengladbach, GERMANY - APR 29, 2013
The head is medium, the body golden. It smells strange, hay. The taste is watery, stale, sweet-hay. Not really my taste. 10/7/7/6/13/7

McNeillR (249) - SCOTLAND - APR 21, 2013
Crisp lager nose, pale yellow body and big lick of a white head. Decent enough carbonation helps carry a generous and dry amount of barley and crispbread across, but this just drys out to a manky malt and unremarkable finish.

Bottle, Marksman Tasting, Edinburgh
Thanks to Camertron for my initial tasting of this shite-ner.

Viper666 (2696) - Saint-Hubert, Quebec, CANADA - APR 8, 2013
Bouteille 330ml étiquetée sous le nom "Sinha Lager". De couleur dorée et claire. Nez de grains de malt pâle sucrés avec des notes de maďs sucré et de houblon herbeux. Mince en bouche avec un pétillement moyen et légčrement croustillant ainsi qu’une texture légčrement aqueuse aux petites notes sirupeuses. Goűt de grains de malt pâle croustillants avec de faibles notes de légumes bouillis lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi de notes de miel avec des traces de maďs sucré (ou est-ce des traces de riz bouilli) puis en finale l’on retrouve des petites notes amčres de houblon herbeux. Post-goűt court et aux notes sčches, aux notes amčres de houblon herbeux avec des notes de grains sucrés. (2006)

ogreface (1089) - Budapest, HUNGARY - MAR 14, 2013
Thanks Armando! Ez egy aranysárga színű, vékony fehér habbal ellátott, enyhén büdi, igen malátás, zöldséges, szúrós, gazosan kesernyés és kissé fanyar lager turistáknak, akik a szomjhalál küszöbén állnak a trópusi időben. Én hidegben ittam, Budapesten és gyorsan lekísértem egy Grabanccal, így megúsztam különösebb károsodás nélkül. A helyszínen én is biztos nagyobb lelkesedéssel fogyasztottam volna.

Shaney (1735) - Köln / Cologne, GERMANY - MAR 9, 2013
Gelb und Schaumkrone im mittleren Bereich. Grasig, florale Hopfenanklänge mit süßlichem Malz. Dünner Antrunk. Getreidig, minimal brotig mit Heu im Geschmack. Der geschmacklich gar nicht mal so schlechte Hopfen ist viel zu schwachbrüstig dosiert. Keine Perle, aber trinkbar.

jmgreenuk (1288) - The Hague, NETHERLANDS - MAR 1, 2013
Bottle courtesy of Kermis. Poured a clear straw colour with a thin white broken head. The aroma was a little malty leading to a weak bitter flavour with lots of malt and a rather strange aftertaste. Not a classic!

Benzai (4345) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - MAR 1, 2013
Sampled from can @ Deanso. Clear yellow-golden color with a small white head. Smell and taste lightly malts, lightly bitter. Not much to it but no major flaws either. Low body and carbonation.

Vaiz (2681) - Den Haag, NETHERLANDS - MAR 1, 2013
Bottle @ ABCbeers tasting. Clear golden pour, no head. Aroma is grainy, some sweet corn malts and a bit metallic. Flavor is clean bitter lager, nothing special.
