Lion Lager

Brewed by Lion Brewery (Ceylon)
Style: Pale Lager
Nuwara Eliya & Biyagama, Sri Lanka

Pours a nice dark amber, has a nice malty aroma with fruity and spicy hints. Flavor is very interesting, quite different from most lagers I have tried; it is very fruity, more like a cider than a beer. It is very smooth and has no hop taste or bitterness. Very refreshing.

Bottle. Clear, golden beer, with a medium sized white head. There’s not much of an aroma, some fruityness though. Not much of a body either, it’s very watery, with flavors of grain, fruits and some hoppy bitterness. I can’t see where’s characther from the commercial description is to be found. Blandness is not character in my book. Some fruityness and a little hoppy note in the finish can’t make up for it either. Not a beer to repeat. (070821)

625ml bottle. Shaker glass. Golden with a small head. Grainy aroma. Taste was mainly grain and malt with a crisp bite to it.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy with a frothy top fine to medium sized bubbles that were and left behind a transparent softly carbonated light orange brown colored body. The mild aroma was malty. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The thin flavor contained notes of malt hops and very mild caramel. An OK brew just nothing special.

Lion Lager is sparkling and yellow with a fluffy, bubbly white head that leaves a bubble ring. The aroma is faint and a bit fruity-- maybe apple. It is medium, maybe medium-light bodied and a bit gritty. The flavor is grainy and mellow. It has a nice bitterness that comes off as grass or hay. It’s refreshing and it was a great pick to session outside in the heat on a late July day.

Its called Sinha Lager over here, not to be confused with SINGHA ladies and gentlemen! Pleasent aroma of honey. Clean golden body with a bit of white lace. Not too much to the flavour, just a nice refreshing honey flavour to it. Body is light, reasonably crisp and with little bitterness to mention. An enjoyable lager.

Clear yellow with a head three fingers in height. Sweet malts, corn, and rice in the aroma. Flavor is similar. Finish is nearly non-existent. Watery. How can this be the same brewery that gives us Lion Stout?

Bottle. Medium high fluffy and quickly disappearoíng jhead. Clear golden body. Sprry mates one more of thse "muddy waters" aromaed beers. Non-interesting baarley malt with hay or may strraw notes. I do not like it. Flavor might be ruinned by corn or rice´, I am not sure. One more beer to sewer (wonder if tis verb exists) suickly. Waste of money. High carbonation (bad). Short aftertasste (good here).
