Steinlager Classic

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

on tap, i have to say this pale lager was really enjoyable, albeit it was really mild. poured a pale yellow color with a white head which seemed to have good retention and lacing. Aroma was of faint malts, mostly bread. Flavor was all malts with a really crisp dry finish.So much better then American pale lagers.

Has the stench of lager, but not the normal lager taste. Sweet and unassuming. A very easy beer to drink. If there was no such thing as ale this would probably be my choice of brews.

Green 11 oz bottle for $1.35 at Vintage Estates. Pop the lid and there is a sharp veggie cabage or cannabis flower aroma. In the glass the smell clears to a more acceptable clean beer aroma. Has the appearance of any other typical pale yellow american lager. Head foam is creamy white. Fairly interesting flavor like a pilsner, perhaps even a premium lager. Has a little more flavor than I’m used to in a pale lager. Thin lacing on the side of the glass. Industrial bitterness begins to build on the back of the palate. Different kind of bitterness, something between a malt and hop, but definately bitter. Decent carbonation. Overall just a little more than I care for in the pale lager style and certainly has its own personality and idiosyncracies. Schmidt’s, carlsburgh and old german are all way better tasting than this and two of those are much less expensive. That industrial medium bitterness hangs for a while on the finish.

Bouteille. Couleur or, claire, mousse qui s’efface vite. Arôme léger et sucré de grain, de houblons floraux et de gazon. Goût pas mal sucré, grain, avec un peu d’amertume. Finale courte. Très mince, effervescence moyenne. Je préfère autre chose.

Nothing stands out in this beer. No hop or malt character. Typical pale lager. Slightly sweeter than others. Not worth paying more for this import.

tastes great ice cold right outta da store on the way home...the aroma smells like skunky marijuana...love this beer... espicially the 25.4 oz bombers that are 1.99 at the local smiths..

bottle. A pale lager, good head. Aroma is nothing special.. taste is typical industrial beer, maybe with a little bit of more hops. Too much carbonatation... medium body...

Bottle A little better than your average American macrobrew pale lager. One of my friend’s favorite brews, but I was very unimpressed. Light urine colored pour with a small head. Grainy aroma and flavor, high carbonation, light body, dry.
