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.

argo0 (9034) - Washington DC, USA - JAN 19, 2006
(12oz bottle, thanks whaleman) Small white head atop a crystal clear apple juice body. Aroma is medium sweet, lemon/grass, some bread, light honey. Taste is medium sweet, bread, light grassy/lemon, metallic. Watery light body, some crispness. Not bad for a pale lager, just ignore the pilsner designation on the bottle.

Tmoney99 (6888) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - JAN 6, 2010
Bottle. Poured clear pale color with a large frothy white head that mostly lasted with fair lacing. Moderate sweet grainy aroma. Light to medium body with a thin texture and lively carbonation. Light to medium sweet flavor with soft sweet finish of short duration. Worth trying once

JoeMcPhee (6831) - Toronto, ON, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 13, 2009
Pale straw colour with a thin white head. The nose is quite dirty over a lot of lean pale malt. Thin-bodied and without a whole lot really going on. Quite macro-esque.

DocLock (5776) - Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA - SEP 22, 2005
Bottle from Epps in Limerick. Pours a deeper shade of gold than many pale lagers, with aroma of pale malt, some hopcit, and some honey. Decent palate smoothness, with decent balance. Indeed, almost like a poor man’s Yuengling of sorts.

Rciesla (5500) - Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA - SEP 9, 2009
Bottle from a case. Pours a pale body with a white head. Very thin and slick. Musky husky corn and dingy malt with a hint of moth and berry. Not so good.

Cornfield (5239) - Oak Forest, Illinois, USA - FEB 11, 2007
This looks good , a clear yellowish gold with lively bubbling and a respectable fizzy white head. But the aroma is a really sweet, honeyed bread with a grassy and metallic bitterness. The sweetness continues into the flavor and the bitterness takes on a mineral water tone. The finish is tinny.
