Steinlager Classic

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

Bottle at The Kick Off in Waterloo, for shits n’ giggles I guess (my 21st b-day and looking for ratings). Pours out a very pale and lively yellow with a medium white fizz. Aroma is all corn, sweet, sweet corn. Flavour is the same, maybe a touch of plastic and no hops whatsoever. Maybe better in New Zealand, the land of extreme sports. Would love to visit someday. Yeah, New Zealand, now there’s a cool looking place....Oh crap I got off track there for a second, I guess that’s since this is such a boring beer.

bottle. Ironic they are showing us some rough rubgy guys oin the beer, when this is actually some poor pathetic lager. Pours clear golden, thick white head. aroma, just weak, hops, some grains, malts, all in a weak way. Taste, hops, corn like flavor forward, sweet malts, reains better than many other pale lagers, dry finish, skunly metallic palate.

Bottle at the Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Ealing, with tashi, 10th April. Pity they were out of bottled ale as this is dire. Pale gold with a large frothy head. Interesting hop side to the aroma but the expected cheap malts on the tongue. Bland and watery.

Une petite blonde qui se boit dans les GBK de Londres. Agréable pour manger, mais pas vraiment de puissance.

Pours pale yellow into a shaker. Bright white micro head meringues and craters as it slowly recedes leaving spider lacing. Bright malt and mild hop aromas. Light and crisp with lemon and hops from front to back. Sour finish.

Bottle 330ml.
Clear light yellow color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, white to off-white head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, grian, toasted, light hoppy, citrus. Flavor is light to moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20081231]

Pours a translucent light yellow. Aroma is funky grass. Very small head that holds longer than expected. Crisp light taste that holds up with the aroma - grass, light and tinny lager funk. I’m not a huge lager fan, but it certainly is drinkable. No palate to speak of; the way it tastes at the start is the way it tastes at the finish. Pleasant beer to drink if you just want to throw a quick one back...

Bottle. Pours a golden yellow with a small white head that slowly fades. Taste is of malt, grass and some hops. Has a light sweetness and some bitterness. Leaves my mouth feeling dry. Similar aroma. Easy to drink. An enjoyable pale lager that is worth picking up.
