Lyons Vinegar

Brand: Lyons (a common brand for basic culinary ingredients in various markets).

Type: Vinegar Substitute or Non-Brewed Condiment. It is not a true vinegar, which is made by fermenting ethanol.

Primary Acid: Typically made by diluting acetic acid (the same acid found in vinegar) with water and adding color (usually caramel) and sometimes flavorings.

Acidity Level: Usually around 4-6% acidity, similar to standard table vinegar.

Color: Amber or brown, designed to resemble malt vinegar.

Taste: A sharp, clean, sour taste. It lacks the complex, fermented background flavors and subtle sweetness of a good quality brewed vinegar (like apple cider or wine vinegar).
