COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A college favorite, Lionshead carries the traditional lion symbol painted on the outside of The Brewery since the early days of brewing in Wilkes-Barre. It is a crisp, clean, easy drinking American lager-pilsner style beer made with the finest American malts, corn, and hops.

From a bottle. Yellowish gold with quickly disappearing head. Syrupy aroma with hints of grain. Sweet, syrupy, light, flat with minimal flavor. Short finish.

JoeAgain (62) - New Jersey, USA - DEC 29, 2009
Pours a very light yellow; with a white head that doesn’t last very long. Cereal grain nose, no hops evident. Very thin body, light cereal grain flavor, with only a little bit of hops flavor and taste. Though I’m well past those days, this beer seems as if it were made to be enjoyed at a frat party; essentially, a beer that is inoffensive, but will get you buzzed. I’d put this beer somewhere in the same league as Blatz or Milwaukee’s Best.

blipp (3600) - Newark, New Jersey, USA - NOV 28, 2009
Bottle. Yellow with almost no head. Light malty aroma, with some grainy sweetness. The flavor has grain and a light malty sweetness. Really not that bad.

blankboy (4285) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - NOV 24, 2009
Bottle. Pours a clear pale gold with a small diminishing white head. Aroma is grainy, slightly vegetal, with some sugary sweetness, artificial honey, pale malt and just a hint of hops. Very watery flavour of grain, corn and pale malt -- that’s pretty much it. Clean but very dull. Average bodied. Drinkable if nothing else better is around but it’s just an O.K. lawnmower beer and strangely enough, I even preferred the Light version.

Pale yellow color with a small white head. Tastes watery, bland, uninteresting. But hey, it goes down smooth and isn’t offensive. If you’re drinking a ton of ’em, it’s not a bad choice.

Appearance: crystal golden look , brilliant shine with mid top that was quickly reduced to fizz. No lace presented.
Nose: Honey , sweet golden malt , bit dusty , mild and fairly clean.
Flavor/Palate : mid bodied. Oily softness with clean palate of golden lager. Light mineral follow up. Proper malt shown. Good Helles.

dmac (2507) - Toms River, New Jersey, USA - OCT 24, 2009
12 oz bottle from Spirits RB. Poured a slightly darker shade of golden yellow then your standard macro pale lager with a slightly larger and fuler fluffy white head. Aroma is pretty much standard macro shit, corny, sweet and grassy. Flavor is all cereal and sweetness before a metallic aftertaste kicks in. Super thin body with bubbly carbonation. This beer sucks!!!

Quite possibly the closest I’ve come to water in a beer. Neither offensive nor flavorful.
