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. Not bad for the money. My wife loves it and so at least, I don’t have to be seen buying Bud or Miller Lite.

Pale lagers are all the same. Adjuncts, adjuncts and more adjuncts. That being said, I’ve had worse pale lagers, but its hard to enjoy something that tastes so balnd and generic.

Pours cyrstal clear light gold with a white head that doesn’t stick around. Aroma of ...of...well, not much, maybe some corn. Taste of corn, too. A locally brewed megabrew. Not much to say for it, but it’s OK.

Not much here to talk about. Poured out of a bottle with little head which didn’t last. Very clear with pale yellow coloring. Very little malt or hop flavor, actually, very little flavor at all. Drinks like a macro, not even a good one. Pass this one up and save your money by going with one of the big boys.

Bottle. Pours a transparent gold with just a wisp of a head, lots of carbonation rising to the surface and pleasant aromas of fruit, grass and corn syrup. Even though the aromas are alright, flavor falls apart a bit as the corn dominates and buries some of the more interesting things that come out in the nose. Even though it isn’t a bad beer, it loses its crispness and comes across as a little bit too sweet...

the aroma smelled of corn and slightly of alcohol but for a cheap (12.99 a case) american pilsner it could have been worse. i actually got decent head retention out of it and i can say that the flavor (not balanced and on the corn/malty side) is reasonably good given the price and ingredients. if its ice cold, it might make decent lawnmower beer...

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear straw yellow with a one finger fizzy white head that actually had some decent retention. The nose is actually pretty inoffensive, which I consider a victory for a cheap Pale Lager. A little bit of a corn smell, but not overpowering. The flavor does not fare so well though. Very thin with primarily corn sweetness and a good bit of grassiness. The finish is fairly short, showing some mercy. The body is a little watery even for the style, with fizzy prickly carbonation. Not good by any means, but I wouldd still take it over the BMC mainstays. At least I would be supporting a regional brewer.
