COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION

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%

yngwie (9205) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - AUG 21, 2007
Bottle. Clear, golden beer, with a medium sized white head. There’s not much of an aroma, some fruityness though. Not much of a body either, it’s very watery, with flavors of grain, fruits and some hoppy bitterness. I can’t see where’s characther from the commercial description is to be found. Blandness is not character in my book. Some fruityness and a little hoppy note in the finish can’t make up for it either. Not a beer to repeat. (070821)

Golden with a moderate head. The aroma is slightly malty and a bit sour. The flavour also is a bit malty and there is no bitterness to speak of. This is a very thin beer.

bhensonb (7598) - Woodland, California, USA - DEC 24, 2007
Pale malt aroma with a light touch of grassy hop. Brassy gold color with a fizzy white head that was impressive til it flattened. Medium body with fizzy/creamy carbonation. Almost light caramel malt flavor with very light hop. Pretty dry, near tart, finish. Better than your average American macro.
