Lion Extra Strong Beer is a high-ABV strong lager brewed by Lion Brewery (Ceylon), Sri Lanka. It’s designed to deliver full intensity—malt heavy flavour, rich body and a noticeable alcohol presence. The taste profile emphasises roasted and caramel malts, strengthened by sweet grain notes and moderate bitterness. It’s positioned for those who enjoy big, bold beers rather than light or delicate lagers.
