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.”

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!

Pale yellow no head. Corn and malt aroma. Very light watery body. Flavor is malts and corn. Very smooth and easy to drink. Cheap

pale clear yellow, small white head that quickly reduces to a scum of tiny white bubles floating on top, slightly lacy. nose of mild wheat, corn. mild flavor of wheat and corn as the look and smell would suggest. watery mouthfeel, mildest hint of bitterness in the finish. much too mild to be repeatable. i got a 24 oz. pint at the convenience store down the block from my downtown st. louis hotel. maybe i should drop a sport pepper in the bottom of my glass.

From the bottle. Flavor is grainy, bready, with a little bitterness. Better than most of the mass produced beers out there.
