Steinlager Classic

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

Bottle. Pale yellow color. Medium sized, bubbly white head. Some bready malts and grass in the aroma. Flavor is your standard pale lager fare. Slighly hoppy with a fizzy, crisp finish. Slight bump because the beer comes from the same country that gave us Flight of the Conchords.

6 pack of bottles at the grocery store. Pours a pale golden and is surpisingly a medium + body that is quite malty. some skunkiness as the top is popped. A fine dirt moving and lawnmower beer. (Sci-ma-tifi-cally proven). Astringent finish??? Maybe for the kiwis but rather rounded IMHO. A pretty wihite head dissipates fast but leaves a fine ephemeral lacing on the sides of mug.

Clear sparkling light amber-yellow colour. Lasting medium white head. Skunky hops scent. Mostly inoffensive corn taste with some hops, harsh afternotes. Still more drinkable than Miller Lite.

Bottle. Poured yellow woth a fizzy white head. Smelled of grain malt. Tasted of corn, grain, and straw. Slight grassy hop finish. Decent carbonation. Overall pretty good beer.

330ml bottle
5.0% ABV <abv> I tried this beer on Fenruary 26, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe’s" in Toronto, Ontario. The been poured a translucent gold with a thin white head that didn’t last long. The aroma was very grainy/grassy with some malty hints. The mouthfeel was clean, crisp, medium bodied, and medium to high carbonation. The flavour was overwhelmingly grainy with some hoppy hints at the finish. Not a great tasting lager, but it goes down very well.

Bottle. Bit pale golden colour with a medium rather short lasting bubbly head. Aroma of grains and hops. Flavour is clean, bit thin, grainy and grassy, bit hoppy with a dryish bit sweet finish. Brewed since 1950 and is still the most famous Kiwi beer. A rather boring beer though.

For some reason I really like the way it smelled when i took off the bottle cap. But after that it didn’t really have a smell to it, sad. Nothing about this beer impresses me. I just wanted to try a New Zealand beer.

bottle. has a skunky aroma that i could smell from 2 feet away. pours a clear light yellow with a thin head. not really much taste. not bad but nothing really stands out about it.
