Steinlager Classic

Brewed by Lion Breweries - NZ (Lion Nathan Co.)
Style: Pale Lager
Auckland, New Zealand

Pours pale gold with a decent wehite head. Bubbles persist throughout. Nose is a bit grassy and bitter, as is the flavor. Not surprisingly, not too complex, but it fills a NZ rating!

Bottle. Quite hoppy, light sweet and later on a light smell of sweat. Medium sized frothy white head, normal long lasting, yellow body. Light bitter taste, short duration. Light to medium body, dry texture, soft carbonation. A light metallic finish. An OK one.

Poured light yellow with small fizzy head. Nose is malty and smells like a mildewed rag. Mouthefeel is light. Flavor is malty also. A drinkable lager.

25.4 oz. bottle, heady is nice and rocky, color is pale yellow, nose is skunky with a medicinal iodine hop flavor, finish is dry

Bottle. Aroma is a bit past it, taste is industrial lager, after taste not so pleasant. There’s a reason nobody in New Zealand drinks this crap.

Agree with most of the recent raters, perfect way to describe it. Skunky aroma, tastes and a long lingering after taste. I think if I ever got drunk on this alone and puked, I might puke myself inside out.

Very skunky, thin white head. The skunky aroma transfers to the taste as well, and that’s that.

Bottle from the LCBO. Pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma is pretty heavily skunked. Once it clears a bit, there’s a faint grassy hop character, but mostly it’s just skunky. Body is weird - it’s thin up front, but oddly sticky towards the back of the tongue. Flavour is faintly skunky, and... well, not much else. In one word: crap.
