Lionshead is a classic Standard American Lager Crisp, clean and slightly dry with some residual sweetness, it is as refreshing as it is thirst-quenching.
We use the finest American two-row and six-row barley and corn; domestic hops add just a touch of bitterness.

Had to try one these "Cheap" lagers from the east, a favorite among the local college populace. Faint grain aroma and taste, bland palate and finish. Typical pale lager.

Bottle on the Black Country Train Tasting Part I. Pours perfectly clear yellow with a light, creamy white head. Simple stuff: sugary dough, light straw, mellow bitterness, cereal. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet dough and cereal on the finish. As pale lagers go, this is fine.

Can on the Black Country Train Tasting Part I, 06/07/13, thanks to James (Jredmond) for this top pale lager want! Can badged as "Lionshead Deluxe Pilsener". Clear pale blonde with a thin white head. Nose is pale malts, cereals, sugar, light citrus. Taste comprises lightly toasted malt, sugars, bread dough, light citrus. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, crisp finish. Ok as the pale lager world goes - it won the showdown for me over Leightons beloved Utica Club! Just !

Black Country Beano. Outbound train tasting! Light haze on this pale gold beer. Fresh palate, softish. Fine carbonation. Clean malt that develops thin cream. Light dried fruits. Light dry finish. Inoffensive.

First train beer of RB Black Country Beer Bus Bash; pale pour white head, malty aroma very much your generic pale lager, I could get verbose about this but I’d prefer to hear about the Virgin Train toilets.

500 ml footed Pils glass draft at Fireworks Pizza in Arlington, Virginia. (Drank about 8 oz of this). The pour is a clear golden with a small white head. The aroma is a slightly dirty malt grain along with some herbal faint hops. The taste is light malt grain sweetness, a fair bit of the dirtiness, and a touch of the faint herbal hops. The palate is light bodied, with a high level of rough carbonation, and a slightly sweet finish. Just ok.
