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.

I’m going to echo my comments slightly to what I said about PBR. This is the better bang for your buck. PBR albeit is good considering, Lionshead beats that hands down. The aroma is pleasant a nice caramel, bread, lighlty toasted aroma. The appearance through me a bit. The color is an off golden color, and the head is not all that impressive. The taste is nice and malty, a bit doughy, is there some caramel in there? The feel is way too smooth, could drink the whole case.

An old college beer for me. Appreciated teh $10 cases back then. Malty sweet aroma with a touch of syrup. Pours a pale yellow color with a slight carbonated head. Has a sweet taste with a decent amount of carbonation. Really this is a micro alternative the light beers, with a better taste than I remembered. The beer just bring back some great college memories. And the picture puzzles under the cap add to the experience as the alcohol sets in.

Was my go to college beer up in Scranton. This and Carbondale Concrete are forever etched in my memory. Had a couple bottles, and this is a basic beer with a generic taste. A better choice then the typical macros. Surprisingly better then I remembered.

Well was given this at a party, found it to be a cheap version of macro lagers, Would rather drink coors or milller lites... some light corn and lite malts... maybe?

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
