Steinlager Classic

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

Bottle. Pours clear yellow, white head. This smells like a corn feed bag. Flavor is skunky, corn, and burlap bag.

nice and crispy...very refrshing.....smooth and pure...thats all the nice buzz words that fit this beer...its like a heineken taste but crispier...not bad at all for a lager...rugby anyone?

Bottle. Bought this after IUP kicked Clarion’s ass down in Indiana and Mike Kalinowski and I went to RK’s for pizza and brew. I saved one for rating. Pours like a good NZ lager should, light and with a fluffy, cottony head. Lots and lots of great lace and a good crisp hoppy bite but finishes with a great malty sweetness. I think that this one is underrated as a great example of a pale lager. Tons better than macro pale lagers. This one is good and refreshing. Nose is like a sticky skunky bud. Good stuff with just a little more body than expected. I like it.

Another ho hum pale lager. This one has a grassy aroma and is surprisingly dry. I kept reading about sweetness being tasted by other reviewers but didn’t find it myself. It was just slightly bitter and metallic. Had a somewhat unique flavor.

Poured very clear gold with lots of mid-sized bubbles and a lasting frothy head. Some fizzy sherbet lemon on the initial aroma, but followed with a faint bile-like smell . On tasting starts a bit light and malty but quickly becomes sickly and sugary. Some metallic bitterness that seems a bit of a constant for southern hemisphere pale lagers makes its way into the brew as well. This one is probably best guzzled at Jade Stadium, watching the Crusaders destroy another hapless Super 14 team, so that your focus is on watching Dan Carter carve up the defence rather then how crep thus beer uz, eh bro.

Another beer that I used to drink alot growing up in hawaii. Stenies abundant in both six pack and large bottle types. Fairly tastey beer to drink while at beach and bangin chicks.

Doesn’t smell too good and is really just one more lager to add to the list for me, plus another country, which is always nice.

Bottled pretty good beer full flavor hits you and then you get this nice smooth taste, very refreshing and tasty. My only beef is that it comes in 330ml bottles which is crap (the standard aussie stubby is 375ml), what is it with premium brands packaging there stuff in 330’s lets hope this trend dies. Excellent beer and cheap for a premium beer $14.99 for a six pack.
