COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
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.

Bottle. Good Points: Pours nicely, has a nice head that doesn’t quickly go away, smooth. Bas points: Skunky smell and a long-lasting aftertaste. Not the best, but not the worst either. I’d buy it again.

330ml bottle .Pours a golden straw color with a fluffy white head that doesn’t fade very fast.Grassy aroma with a grassy flavor that is not sweet or bitter.It has slightly more taste than bud but less than some other lagers.

bottle. skunky aroma. taste is plain lager blandness. very unoffensive, but nothing too interesting comng through. minimal aftertaste. might not be bad for a real change of pace.

Skunked. The aroma from this bottle was skunk before I poured it. It obviously spent some time in a warm window before I purchased it. Pale yellow, with a good white head. Good medium body, with lot of malt flavor. I’ll try and overlook the skunk taste in the score.

Pours to a golden color, with a pillowy white head that lingers throughout, and excellent lacing. Aroma is floral hops. Taste is more of the hoopy floral, with grassy taste more evident at mid-glass. Finish is dry, with lingering floral aftertaste. An okay beer, but nothing great.

sayravai (4522) - Helsinki, FINLAND - JUL 17, 2006
(Bottled) Pale golden color with a bright white, medium, foamy head. Hoppy, but somewhat chemical aroma. Corny-hoppy flavor with little malt and some acidity. Some harsh hops in the finish. Light-bodied, quite carbonated palate. The hopping is quite original, but maybe not that enjoyable. Sure, it differs from a local bulk lager - but is it really better?

Light yellow with a white head. Sweet corn aroma. Flavor of sweet corny malt. Slightly bitter finish.

A step above Bud and Coors, but a step below Sam Adams Boston Lager and company. Still a little corny in taste. Fortunately my bottle wasn’t skunky, but I feel sorry for those people who had to deal with that. Will drink this if it’s free (it was), but never would buy it.
