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%

A light lager than really does not stand out from the crowd. Tastes decent enough on a hot Sri Lankan afternoon, after climbing, and climbing, and climbing to all the Buddhist sites.

dwaggs2 (1124) - Jefferson City, Missouri, USA - DEC 9, 2008
Bottle. Pours a golden color with almost no head at all. Not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Smells of malt and skunk. Taste was similar to a Bud. Very smooth easy drinking beer. Decent, but not great.

espenra (609) - Kurland, NORWAY - NOV 28, 2008
33cl bottle from Barley Wine. It poured a pale, almost transparent golden colour with a medium big creamy head that settled down fast in the glass. The aroma is regular lager, a lot of malt, but it also has a hint of rice. The flavour is thin and watery and tastes of, well, water and a bit of malt. It has a short, almost non-existant aftertaste. A rather boring lager, but probably nice in the summer or very warm places.

12oz bottle-pours a frothy white head and gold color. Aroma is sweet grain, Eurolagerish, touch of lime, some cereal/cardboard, slight earthy hops. Taste is sweet grain, Eurolagerish, touch of lime, some cereal/cardboard, slight earthy/spicy hops-balances the sweetness. OK carbonation. Thanks jwc215 for sharing.

SpudClampDawg (1029) - Jasper, Indiana, USA - OCT 2, 2008
22oz bottle: Pale yellow body with a rising, white cap that leaves a good amount of lace. Mild aroma is pleasant and non-offensive. Light notes of straw, wheat and buttery caramel fill the nose. Spritzy carbonation. The remains mild and off-flavor free with more light caramel and straw. Finishes with a lightly grassy notes, without lending too much bitterness and overpowering the finesse of this beer. This is a pale lager that I would reach for again.

Pours a golden color with a minimal head. Very faint sweet aroma. Pretty thin watery beer. Drinkable.

Pours gold with a white head. Smells of dry malt, some peppey hints, earthy. Tastes lightly fruity with some sweet caramel hints.
