Undoubtedly the best selling among our mild beers, Lion Lager has a 4.8% alcohol volume and is credited as a great thirst quencher. Golden roasted malt in colour with a hint of fruit and caramel flavouring, it is very slightly sweet with less hop notes. The attractive labeling is in sophisticated black and gold, showcasing our strong but watchful golden lion as the king of the savannah, symbolising visionary leadership and power.

Attractive-looking can at The Coconut Tree, Oxford (which is a really nice, fun little Sri Lankan restaurant by the way). The beer's yellow-gold in colour with a lasting white head and a gentle fizz. Unusually for the style it actually had a decent mouthfeel - soft and smooth, almost comforting. Unfortunately the aroma and flavour are nothing to write home about - sweetcorn up front, followed by a little butter and citrus. I think mild and inoffensive would be the best description, which is still better than a lot of world lagers. It was a good choice for washing down the delicious Sri Lankan food though.

Perfectly acceptable and highly drinkable pale lager. Some sweetness, but also a bit if bitterness. Soft and easy, but nothing much to distinguish it from others. Not sure where the lions are on Sri Lanka, but it's a good country tick.
