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%

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

330ml bottle. Golden amber colour with a small puffy white head of dense foam. Clear with an aeroma of malt and a slight burnt toffee flavour with a nice aftertaste.

Quite good, prefer their stout. Nice fresh nose and a bit hoppier than most lagers.

UPDATED: MAR 25, 2006 Some people must have got this guy skunked. Perhaps the crispest beer i’ve ever had. Goes down very smooth and has a taste that will make you smile and say Thats good beer.

Land #42 Das Bier ist mild, ohne allerdings wie viele andere asiatische Biere ins wässrige abzudriften. Der frische hopfige Geschmack und der malzige Abgang lassen auf ein Lager ohne Mängel schließen. Test vom 27.4.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 13,11,11,11,9,11 - 11,10

[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.

Good beer. Much better than the lion stout. The foil around the cap makes this look like your drinking some high-priced, high-class beer when it is really nothing more than a slightly better version of Bud Light.

Golden and slightly carbonated. Very clear appearance and slightly dry.Fairly run of the mill lager, not in the same class as their wonderful stout.
