Steinlager Classic

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

This is bad beer. Aroma of skunked Rolling Rock with at thick white head and clear yellow color. Watery body with some hops and yeast for a flavor.

A light pale lager... very mild flavour. Less than warsteiner or czechvar/budvar, but still good.

33 cl bottle - Pours a crystal clear light golden color with a large two finger thick white head. Thick layer lacing. Aroma is spicey, herbal, and grassy hops with skunk thrown in for good measure. Flavor is lightly sweetened grain and spicey hops. Light to medium body. As far as pale lagers go, this is pretty good. A nice session lager and for $10 a twelve pack.

This is a pretty good lager with good body and hop bite for a macro lager. It is gold, a little on the pale side, bubbly, with a pretty big white head that dissipates slowly to a thin lasting foamy head and leaves no real lacing. The aroma is basically a somewhat strong, perfumy lager smell with elements of grain and pine. There’s a definite skunky element but this is not really unpleasant or strong. The taste is much better than the aroma, with pretty good malty body, taste, and light sweetness, with a definite hop taste and bitterness, like pine and crushed green grass, that strengthens in a long, bitter, hoppy finish without being too bitter. At the same time, it is still basically light and crisp. Overall, this has good body, taste and bitterness, and is pretty satisfying.

I bought a large bottle at a grocery store just to try it. Comes in a green glass bottle and guess what...it was skunky. There is a good reason beer was sold in brown glass bottles. It keeps beer from getting skunked. Once past the skunk aspect it tasted much like an old-school American Lager beer. Back when they brewed beer with real hops. Nice head good amount of lacings would like to try some pre-skunked sometime.

I’ve had this one in New Zealand on my honeymoon.
It’s the commercial brand of NZ. But actually it’s not good at all. Sure.. nice to have at a game or in front of the tv.. but really enjoy.. no. Too crisp and too dull.

bottle. smells great. very hoppy.fully lasting head. moderately sweet and kind of acidic. it was watery and fizzy. another I could drink a lot of but not sure I would. really not bad though.

bottle. as soon as I opened it the bottle I was punched in the face by a piney aroma of hops. it pours a clear yellow with a large rocky head. very little carbonation actually in the beer though. taste is very inoffensive, mainly because it tastes like bottled water with some beer poured in it. very easy to drink a lot of but not something outstanding to go raving to your friends about.
