Steinlager Classic

Poured a briliant golden color with a finger of head. The nose is a mix of malts and skunk. The taste was dominated by that skunk with a little bit of floral hops. The finish was plain and dry. Overall, this is another crappy macro lager.

The New Zealand Yingling lager pretty much... you like that you’ll like this

Bottle. Pours a clear yellow coloured beer. Nose of hops and grass. Taste was stringent and very forgettable

Pours a very light yellow and has a nice tall head. Nose is not quite skunky but not flowery with a clean yeast smell. Sweet malt and mash, simple with a light bitterness that comes and goes gently. Medium body but very, very drinkable. In fact, I drank the whole bottle before I was even done writing.

Pours yellow with a moderate white head. Aromas are malt with a faint scent of caramel and mild hops. No sign of skunkiness for me (which was pleasing to sy the least). Flavor is of grain and mildly hoppy. Nice balance.

Maybe its just me, I like the aroma of this beer, sort of similar to becks. Flavour is there; a little grainy and slighly malty. A decent lager on a hot summer’s day. If summer ever arrives...

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. Green bottle at that. Pours with a skunkiness even more potent than Heineken. Crystal clear golden in color, has a fluffy pure white head that quickly fades into a thin film on top, did I mention the skunk aroma? There is a big grassy note to the flavor with a distinct bite. Definitely not what I would call a good lager.
