When I used to work in the area of Widener University, i’d see empty sixers & cases of this stuff all over the place. It’s obviously one of those college-crowd, frat party types of beers. Pours the standard macro golden with a one finger head that fades quickly to a light collar. I see evidence of the usual macro fizziness, lotsa tiny bubbles. Aroma is sweet malt with maybe a slight timge of corn. I actually find the aroma kind of refreshing. 1st sip is mildy malty, with some corn notes. There’s just the slightest hint of hops on the swallow, but it’s VERY subdued. The hopheads out there aren’t gonna like this much. Mouthfeel is light and smooth. Overall, this is pretty good for what it is, a low cost macro. I don’t find it offensive at all, and in the right situation ( an order of Buffalo Wings, a football game & a gathering of good friends), it would be quite pleasing. At $12/case (only 50 cents per beer!), it’s quite a value!

lionshead is best drank out of a glass so pouring for me is a must with this lager. this is a good cheap beer possibly the best of the cheap beers

Served: bottle. Recommended cold. Standard American-pilsner yellow with a straightforward flavor of malt and grasses. Quick clear finish but may leave a mild bitterness at the very end. This beer’s major redeeming quality is the pricetag: $12/case, and a local-brewery product better than generic canned brews of similar price. Also, the under-the-cap puzzles provide minor entertainment.

Bottle. Standard pale yellow in color, white foamy head, light malty aroma. Crisp and clean due to not much going on here. But, for $12 per case, you can’t go wrong. Good brew for tailgating.

Very plain beer. Watery, somewhat grassy. Light-medium bodied. Blonde beer with minimal head. Slight bitter aftertaste.

A gift from Singlemalter: Pours a golden body with thin white head. Has a pretty distinct grainy taste and a strong malted aroma. Finishes with a soft hoppy flavor.

Bottle: Poured a golden yellow color with a thin head. The aroma was faint. The flavor was watered down, not much flavor. Just and ok beer.

A rather average lager. Pours a golden/straw color with many bubbles and a half-inch thin head. Not much of an aroma. Flavor had a hint of corn and whatnot. Overall, this is a very average beer. Not bad, but nothing to run and tell anyone about.
