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.

Slightly better than its cousin brewed at the same brewery...Gibbon’s. This beer was crisper, slightly fruity, but generally failed to make the grade as it was lacking much flavor. At best I would call this beer bland, bud not bad for an American Lager overall.

Weak and watery. Although their marketing schemes are quite clever. Unfortunately, they seemed to have spent more money in that area than in the actual product.

For the price of this beer it is a very good product. It just bascially tastes like a weak pilsner but it does the job.

Draft, Philly airport, terminal F. Clear gold with a small, fleeting head. Aroma is light honey and dry grass. Flavor is same plus some light citrus. Light watery body is right in the middle of smooth vs. rough.

When I used to work in the area of Widener University, i’d see empty sixers & cases of this stuff all over the place. It’s obviously one of those college-crowd, frat party types of beers. Pours the standard macro golden with a one finger head that fades quickly to a light collar. I see evidence of the usual macro fizziness, lotsa tiny bubbles. Aroma is sweet malt with maybe a slight timge of corn. I actually find the aroma kind of refreshing. 1st sip is mildy malty, with some corn notes. There’s just the slightest hint of hops on the swallow, but it’s VERY subdued. The hopheads out there aren’t gonna like this much. Mouthfeel is light and smooth. Overall, this is pretty good for what it is, a low cost macro. I don’t find it offensive at all, and in the right situation ( an order of Buffalo Wings, a football game & a gathering of good friends), it would be quite pleasing. At $12/case (only 50 cents per beer!), it’s quite a value!

lionshead is best drank out of a glass so pouring for me is a must with this lager. this is a good cheap beer possibly the best of the cheap beers
