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.

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.

For the price of this beer it is a very good product. It just bascially tastes like a weak pilsner but it does the job.

Draft, Philly airport, terminal F. Clear gold with a small, fleeting head. Aroma is light honey and dry grass. Flavor is same plus some light citrus. Light watery body is right in the middle of smooth vs. rough.

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!

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.
