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%

Smells like hops and gasoline. Looks golden, but very watery apperance. Tastes like hops, gasoline, and water. Leaves a short lived bitter taste in my mouth. As much as I liked the stout, the lager is a dissappointment.

Pours a dark golden colour with a full fluffy malty head. Heavy body, with a thick mouthfeel. decent beer overall, sort of raritie in my part. taste is ok.

This was dreadful- I’m positive I had an expired or skunked bottle. Tasted like battery acid and urine. Aroma was unappealing and I should have taken the hint. I would like to try this again maybe in Sri Lanka but after the long journey to North Carolina this was by far the worst import I have ever tasted.

Bomber poured a clear gold with a lingering ring of white foam. Aromas of bread dough, light skunk and a hint of spice. Palate was light bodied and crisp. Flavors of straw, light citrus and a hint of spice with a crisp lingering funky finish.

Smells a little like a basement in a frat house and tastes a little like what comes out of the keg after midnight. Not so good, not complex, lacks any sort of interesting flavor.
