Stag Beer

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.

Tried it out of the can. Aroma reminded me of fresh cut watermelon, which makes me suspect acetaldehyde or slight yeast presence. The flavor was tangy and slightly fruity (not in a good way) with hints of old creamed corn. Overall, it’s what you’d expect from the price... awesome can and graphics, though!

Yellow with a big head. Aroma is stale and rather offensive. Flavor isn’t too up front, just some background maltiness and mild hops. I wasn’t expecting too much, and that’s just what I got. found 24oz can at gas station in st louis

12 oz. can. Can’t beat that label. Another grandpa beer, about on par with PBR. There’s a bar just outside St. Louis that serves it for 50 cents every night, so I have some good memories of conversations over cheap Stags. Smoother than you’d expect- light gold, medium white head, very mild.

Not really as bad as one might think. Is a grainy beer with a light flavor and goes down smooth. Pours a light golden with a small head. Has a slight bitter after taste. For the price, is definitely a step up from most cheap beers, that is, if you’re lucky enough to find it.

Pours clear golden with high carbonation and a thick foamy white head. Aroma is very sweet malt and corn with not much else there. Flavor is starts off sweet with a bit of a light apple background. The beer is very light on the palate and is pretty effervescent in your mouth. Overall if your looking for a top quality beer, you will be sorely mistaken but if your looking for a more flavorful beer for mass drinking than the other macros then this beer is right up your alley.

Stag is disgusting. My brother-in-law says that it is the closest thing to German beer there is. I have drank AT LEAST 15 different brands of German beer and I am of the oppinion that human urine is closer to German beer than Stag. It is way too bitter for my tastes and does not go down smooth at all. When I first tried it back in 1988, I thought it was pretty good. Now, I’d rather drink battery acid. Since 1988, it’s quality has gone way downhill. I thought that when it was acquired by the Miller Brewing Company, it’s quality would improve. Wrong Answer. Even Miller itself and Miller Lite have gone way downhill. With the exception of a cheap 80’s brand called Red, White, and Blue and a generic brand called Beer brewed by the Iron City Brewing Compant of Pittsburgh, PA, Stag is THE worst beer I’ve ever had.....ANYTIME.....ANYWHERE.....PERIOD!
