COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
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.”

Bottle to pint (HUGE thanks to jmborggren for this whale!). Looks solid; a transparent gold with white lacing. Smells and tastes doughy and skunky with a below average mouthfeel. Not anything I’d recommend to a friend.

EtTuCthulhu (399) - Columbia, Missouri, USA - MAY 4, 2013
The appearance of this beer is a clear yellow color with no head, and the aroma is reminiscent of sweet yeast, dough malts, and slightly roasted malts. The taste is quite sour, slightly sweet, and a touch salty, and the mouthfeel combines a medium body, thin texture, average carbonation, and a long finish.

RobertDale (1909) - Lansing, Kansas, USA - MAR 7, 2013
12 ounce can. Pours light gold with a decent white head. Mild aroma of malt and grain. Taste is similar. Not good, but not bad. Good inexpensive lager.

A very easy drinking and underappreciated beer. Some people get so caught up in the bs of talking about beer (much like wine snobs) that they fail to taste and enjoy a beer that is simply a good tasting beer at a good price. It’s a shame it’s only available in MO, IL, and AR.

Not much you can say about an American light lager that hasn’t been said before. I used to have this beer when I went fishing during college, not because it tasted better, but because taste didn’t matter that early in the morning. What I remember most distinctly about the beer in that context was its sawdusty aftertaste.

wlajwl (2912) - Quad Cities, Iowa, USA - SEP 24, 2012
Aroma is mild grain sweetness and some malt grit. The flavor is mildly sweet malts and a hint of citrus hops. A decent enough macro.

theisti (2822) - Leawood, Kansas, USA - JUL 2, 2012
12 oz Gold can at Waldo Pizza in Kansas City, Missouri. This one’s for you Bill. The pour is clear yellow golden with a fizzy one inch white head that fell quick. The aroma is faint, what shows is a lightly sweet soft toasted malt. Clean enough. The taste is the nose, sweet toasted malt up front, thins out pretty quick, and fairly bland and watery in the back. The palate is light bodied, active carbonation and the thin (though clean) finish. Overall, clean but boring Pale Lager - good value at the price point.

12oz can poured into a shaker. Pours a clear gold with about a finger of white head. Sweet deer on the can, extra points for that. Aroma of corn and grains. Taste is light bitter and light sweet. Corn and grains. Medium bodied with a somewhat thin texture. Lively carbonation and a suprisingly long finish. Overall, I dig it. I’ll buy this every time I see it.

12 oz can pours golden with a white head. This is a basic cheap U.S. beer. Not much taste or aroma.
