Lion Red is a full-bodied malt flavoured beer, balanced with a pleasant hop bitterness. It is batch brewed using high quality malt and the finest New Zealand hops to produce a 4% alcohol/volume beer. This leading New Zealand beer's history dates back to 1907. Originally known as "Lion Beer", this brand became known to the general public as "Lion Red", which aptly described its red-coloured label and can. Lion Breweries responded by officially changing the brand's name to Lion Red in the mid 1980's.

Bottled. Deep golden, rocky head.Aroma of grass and oranges left on a compost heap. Sweet, light bodied and heavy on vegetable flavour and some Pride of Ringwood style dusty bitterness. Not good.

330ml bottle. Not sure what this is. Deep gold, thin white head, some interesting red berries and some malt. Feels in mouth like a lager with very faint infusion of strawbeery. Fine but too gassy

An amber beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel as well as malt, while the body is thin.

Bottle - some Kiwi girls I knew in CA got all excited when they got a couple of cases of this. Have to say it is a very nice beer. Nice hop aroma - clean crisp and nice hops/malt flavor. And I can tell you that I couldn’t even come close to keeping up with them - a nice strong breed of women they were who earned my respect.

Light amber color, medium sized tight creamy head. Acceptable aroma, grassy, lightly herbal hops. Light body with a musty hop and very clean finish. Nicely drinkable low alcohol beer. Has some "mild ale" qualities. A real drinker.
