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%

stegosaurus (1882) - Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA - APR 14, 2006
Bottle say 4.8%. Pours pale golden small white head. Aroma of sweet malts and sugar. Flavor is sweet with a hoppy bitter finish. Thin body, weak, average at best.

Stew41 (1413) - Woodend, AUSTRALIA - MAR 20, 2006
Appearance is nothing to write home about; macro amber, very clear, no head. Nose lacks character but some faint hops. Fizzy palate dominated by stale malts, not over bearing by any stretch, but not totally surprising given I couldn’t locate a UBD. Bland at best, and maybe even a touch skunked in hindsight.

RooftopRogue (423) - Champaign, Illinois, USA - MAR 4, 2006
This offers a mild aroma of yeast and hops. It pours a moderately thick head that settles upon a maize colored solution. This beer is thin and creates a pucker effect by offering a bitter skunky taste.

This is a light, non-skunky, tasty little beer. I was suprised to find it here in Michigan. Good Stuff.

oldrtybastrd (3228) - Doha, Qatar/Great Falls, Montana, USA - FEB 22, 2006
Pours a golden yellow color. Aromas of grassy hops with some grains/corn. Flavor is crisp, malty with maybe a touch of hops.

asheft (2030) - Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA - FEB 11, 2006
[This bottle was brought back to me from Sri Lanka and the abv was 4.8%.] Bohemian noble hops aroma with faint crisp malt and nothing offensive. Only wispy white mist over a bright gold drink. Nice fresh hops up front in good balance with crisp sweet malt. No skunk, corn, or pissy yellow characteristics, other than the hops variety. Medium body with medium carbonation and a clean finish. This beer is right up there with the good Czech pilsers--I wonder whether the product that you buy in North America is different than what you get in Ceylon. Very nice.

jasonp (1556) - Leesburg, Virginia, USA - JAN 6, 2006
Clear golden with a quickly fading white head. Light grain and corn in the aroma with a slight whiff of fresh paint (!). Flavor expectedly is of grain, corn and a touch of lemon. Has a weird metallic finish with a touch of sourness. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. Not good. I can’t believe they make that tasty stout.
