nybol	4.1 The Lion Lion Lager En MEGET almindelig lagerøl. Positivt er den ikke så syrlig som mange andre pilsnere. Negativt er den uden spænding og alt for lidt humle. Wednesday, July 12, 2017

Chas_manian	3 Gold Crown Lion Lager I’m partial to this local brewery, which offers a variety of affordable brews in bottles or growlers. The Lion Lager is an easy drinking lager that always satisfies. Monday, September 26, 2016
nimbleprop	2.3 The Lion Lion Lager Pitcher in Colombo, pours a clear gold with some creamy white head. Nose is what you expect, some corn, yeast, light lemon, light grist. Flavor has something a little bit sour, like corn that’s gone bad, yeast, straw, dough. Finishes a touch creamy. Thursday, February 18, 2016
kevinsenn	2.8 The Lion Huether Weissbier On tap at Barleyworks. Light spicy wheaty aroma that’s hard to separate from the orange wedge on the glass. Taste is grainy, kinda boring, kinda metallic. Flat. About as good as I expected, I guess. Thursday, August 20, 2015

Ferris	3 The Lion Raspberry Lager Draft - Raspberry jam and clotted cream. Hazy yellow with a rich white head. Raspberry, sweet, tart and bitter. Not too bad, all the different flavors balance so it isn’t too sweet or tart or cloying. Tuesday, September 2, 2014

Radek Kliber	3 The Lion IPA Where and how: on tap at brewpub Aroma citrusy, floral feel , tad muted. Soft lemon like side and finish. Appearance : Top: average sized, long lived top. Base: clear amber. Palate : mild carbonation, mid bodied. Taste: leafy, citrusy bitterness. Soft mid with harsher hint of wet green hop. other notes not perfect but not bad either. Friday, August 29, 2014
Radek Kliber	3 The Lion Wuerzburger Lager Where and how: on tap at brewpub Aroma soft, mild , mellow golden malt. Lacking hints of noble hops. Appearance : Top: lighter short lived. Base: amber gold, tad too dark for style. Palate : soft mid , proper level of carbonation. Taste: toasty grainy front, proper malt feel but felt tad too thin, washed-out. other notes it would benefit if it had heavier bend on Munich malt as it has good basics to be very nice. Friday, August 29, 2014
Radek Kliber	3.4 The Lion English Ale Where and how: on tap at brewpub Aroma mild roast, slightly nutty hints, accented by chocolate and toasted barley. Appearance : Top: neatly contrasting cap. Base: dark brown. Palate : soft bodied, fine carbonation. Taste: mild, easy going pub ale. Quiet old school in approach. Friday, August 29, 2014

SteveLikesBeer	2.7 Gold Crown Lion Lager I bought this bottle from the brewery. It had a frothy white head when poured into a chilled mug, but it doesn’t last long. It was medium gold and mildly carbonated. It’s not quite as sweet as Gold Crown’s 5.3-per-cent alcohol Premium Lager and has some decent maltiness. This preservative-free lager is drinkable and easy-finishing, but there’s nothing special about it. Tuesday, July 1, 2014
SteveLikesBeer	2.2 Gold Crown Premium Lager I bought this bottle from the brewery. There’s not a lot of head from a pour into a pilsner glass. It’s pale gold and decently carbonated and a run of the mill aroma. It’s a bit grassy and has some sweetness from the malt. There’s not much of an aftertaste. Overall, it’s drinkable but generic and leaves little impression. Monday, June 30, 2014

kevinsenn	3.3 The Lion Adlys Ale On tap at Barley Works. Clear deep amber, with a thin head. Mild aroma of caramel, with some slight hops. The taste starts sweet and fruity, gets bready and creamy, and has a clean, slightly metallic finish. Smooth mouthfeel. Not bad, as the ratebeer score would lead me to believe. Monday, September 17, 2012
RayOhm	2.1 Gold Crown Premium Lager Not very good at all. Comparable to budweiser and other generic garbage. Don’t even bother Monday, November 28, 2011
