    I went into this beer expecting nothing. Maybe that’s why I enjoyed it? I see mentions of adjuncts in other reviews but doesn’t seem to be full of them to me. Clean flavor with none of the cheap aftertaste like other pale lagers this is being compared to. Somewhat sweet with little bitterness. A little grassy with biscuit sweetness.

    I had this beer at a small sub shop in Harrisonburg, VA (Ciros). This beer is crisp, clean, and exactly what I was in the mood for after a full morning of fly fishing on Beaver Creek in the summer sun. A nice beer.

    From bottle, shared by a fellow volleyball teammate in exchange to get him to drink a Hoegaarden. Sure, I got ripped, but it was an outreach move. The pour was pale yellow with light carbonation. The aroma was like a light pilsner moreso than a pale lager w/ adjuncts everywhere. The flavor, however, was more along the lines of a pale lager, yet with some discernable pilsner qualities: light grass and the pilsner/sulfury malts. The mouthfeel was light. Better than a standard pale lager, but not much more of a beer than that.

    This beer poured with a light copper colored body topped by a small white head that left no lace down the glass. Slightly grassy and sweet aroma, light to medium bodied mouthfeel, quite drinkable. THe flavor is grainy and sweet with some faint hoppy flavors, a nice drinkable session lager.

    "A gift from Singlemalter: Pours a golden body with thin white head. Has a pretty distinct grainy taste and a strong malted aroma. Finishes with a soft hoppy flavor."

    This was pretty nice. It poured a nice golden color with a weak head. It had a nice malty aroma and a stronger malt flavor. It finished malty with a subtle hop kick, but nothing much. Id have this again.

    Surprisingly, a very good beer for a great price. Unlike the normal cheap beers which might be good for scrubbing toilets, this beer is very well put together. Not an overwhelming beer. Very light in color and aroma. A more chrisp taste than beers like Coors, Miller or Bud. Goes very well with pizza, wings and football and won't break the bank in the process. It's the beer of choice when funds are low as well as when my friends and I want to relax with a comfortable and familiar beer. Plus it's made 10 minutes from home. Sweet...

    I have to say this is a remarkably good beer, considering its price. I usually stock up on cases costing $30-$60 each, but my distributor suggested I give Lionshead a try, and at $8.99/case plus tax, I was impressed! Sometimes I just don't want to pass around bottles of pricey imports, crafts and microbrews to guests who haven't the palate to appreciate them, but I'll proudly serve this quirky Pennsylvania bottling, and pop open a few for myself as well. It's FAR superior to typical American rubbish such as Budweiser. Be sure to examine the inside of the bottle caps; each one has a tiny little rebus for you to puzzle out while drinking. But you'll likely need a magnifying glass! Update: I just knocked down a bottle of this outta my stock bought last August, and I'm telling you, it got BETTER! This one is a real sleeper, and I'd recommend it to anyone without reservation.

    This is a typical American lager, similar to Bud or Coors. The beer is very pale in color, almost no aroma with a very light flavor. It had a slight taste of alcohol. I thought I'd try it, for $10/case you can't go too wrong.
