12oz bottle. Clear golden hue. Fingerwidth of white head. Toasty malty nose. Grainy. Lively and grainy sweet and slightly smokey. Muddled and watery.

"Steinlager® is a lager with a distinctive grassy note and clean crisp bitterness of green bullet hops. It is balanced with a dry, astringent finish." - Commercial Description. Sure... all I can say is that is pure bs. Had a skunky feel and lousy aftertaste. Bland and dissapointing.

Basic lager aroma. Clearest gold body, white head that is mostly diminishing. Some visible carbonation. Bland with some bite; very dry. I had this brew back in 1986, the last time I was in Honolulu. This is my first trip back here and I thought I try to sort of relive my high school days. Interestingly enough, the logo depicted on the photo on this page was the same logo Steinlager had 19 years ago. However, the bottle I bought tonight is different. They must have recently changed it. I like the old one. I bought it at the nearby ABC store next to my hotel, the Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel. I was tempted to buy one of the 3 Kona beers available, but I know I will be trying them all at the Kona brewpub on the Big Island in a few days. Otherwise, the ABC store has a horrible selection. As I was going up to pay, the store clerk was wheeling a dolly full of Bud and Bud light to the cooler. Wake up people. Although Steinlager is basically a blah beer, at least I was supporting an import, not BMC. Overall, no flaws but no redeeming qualities. And, neither nostaligia nor the setting were enough to improve my enjoyment of this brew.

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.

Like a light form of an Indian beer.

Bottle. Bit of skunk in the aroma, that mostly went away on full pour. Clear golden, small whitish head. Taste is bright, can taste the grain, and a bit of bitter in there too. Decent, clean lager, not much more or less.
