Commercial Description:
Since 2001, contract-brewed for Pabst Brewing (San Antonio), as Pabst no longer owns a brewery of its own. Stag Beer has been brewing “Golden Quality Since 1851.” At the 2001 Great American Beer Festival, that quality was recognized with the Gold Medal as the Best American-Style Lager. Just more proof of what Midwesterners have been saying for years, “Stag Beer makes thirst a pleasure.”

at the Tin Can Tavern in STL. Figured this is a local standby in the area, I’d give it a go. Pretty clean tasting yellow lager with a little funky hop skunk in the nose. Drinks pretty good, don’t it?

Appearance: Pours out a clean, thin-looking, yellow body with a wispy, equally thin-looking, white head. Smell: Faint aroma smelling only lightly of exceptionally pale malts and spicy hops. Again, it’s all quite mild, mind you. Taste: Lightly sweet, lightly watery cereal grains with a bit of grainy astringency to it. Fairly light hop presence with no more than a hint of bitterness. Finishes dry with a little snap of crisp carbonation. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation. Drinkability: A simple, inoffensive lager, no more no less. Basic but sufficient, I suppose.

Pours a light pale yellow color with a white head. Aroma is honey, vanilla, some astringent grain, and a touch of herbal hops. Flavor is honey, grain, fruity, and a light herbal bitter finish.

(bottle) gold, white head. Faint light malt aroma. Flavor of light malt. Served cold it is a reasonably crisp American lager. Perfect for the barber shop Christmas party where I had it.

12oz can, gold colored retro label with a Stag head on it. I found a 12pk of this in a Missouri gas station next to a Jack in the Box for $5.99. A beer hunting offer i could not refuse! Yellow pour, white head. Aroma of straw and synthetic lemon zest. Medicinal flavor with some floral hops. Astringent bitterness, finishes like a paper napkin. Watery bodied. I could see how this was a beer to go to in the 1850s. As culture has changed, so has quality of beer. Or maybe at one time it truly was a good beer. I don’t know, I’ve got 11 more of these. blah.

Honestly, one of the least offensive cheap, pale lagers I’ve had. The taste, the can, and the atmosphere that is instantly created while enjoying a delicious, golden Stag is unbeatable.
