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. 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.

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.

Draft at lunch at the local with the wife. The last time I was at the local, we were discussing picks in this years "Death Pool" Other than my perrenial pick of Mark David Chapman, I had Billy Mays as my main pick of the year... Needless to say, the bartenders first words were "You picked Billy Mays! You get a free beer!" I picked this one. so thank you Mr. Mays for giving yourself Cocaine induced cardiac arrest! This was not a standout product ....like mighty putty. Thick head in the mug club mug, a hazy musty yellow in the glass. Nose is weak, and I strained to pull much from it other than some whispy grassiness. Body is light and on the quick side. finish is muddled and does not flow. Watery caramel with some weak hop zing. Meh.

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.

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.
