Lion Lager
I decided to pull another sample from the Beers from Around the World sampler that I received as a gift recently. I went with the Lion Lager from Sri Lanka this afternoon. Overall, this beer is unimpressive, but it does have a rather crisp and refreshing flavor, but absolutely no body whatsoever. It would do slightly better than a BudMillerCoors on a hot afternoon, but it won't get a second look. I sorta figure that this beer is sorta like Fosters. It's not really a choice beer in Sri Lanka, but it's gonna sell in the states because it's an import. There are a few beers like this in this sampler, and I might enjoy one or two more of them, but the Smithwick's Irish Ale is probably going to be the best sample from the pack. There is a bottle of Old Speckled Hen that I'll probably pop open next time around... At least I can re-cap the Lion Lager bottle next time I bottle some home brew :)
