May 25, 2009 Pale yellow color. Bottle I tried was pretty skunky. Corn/grass with little if anything to set it apart from other pale lagers. Watery and lacking any redeeming qualities.

May 22, 2009 330 mL Bottle. Sraw body with a foamy white head that settles to a frothy film lacing the sides of the glass generously. Aroma is grains and yeast with a sour earthiness about it; not that pleasant. Sweet grainy-corny-grassy flavor with the hop bitter expressing in the aftertaste and lingering in the finish along with a note of butter biscuit; a distinctive taste. Brownie points for that one-of-a-kind flavor

May 18, 2009 330ml bottle. Pale straw in colour. Clear with a tight white head and mild carbonation. Skunky aroma of hops. Dry texture with an aftertaste of dry straw. Hop and malt taste. Average NZ drop.

May 17, 2009 O.K Steinies have been around for a while, Tall Greenies, the Tall Blue, you name it they’ve bottled it in different styles over the years. And to their credit, they haven’t bastardised the taste over all those years of promotion. It has a distinctive taste, no argument there, it doesn’t give you more of a headache than other lagers? Well, I’d stick to the German brewed lagers. A unique taste.

May 8, 2009 Green glass and overseas journeys don’t mix. This bottle was skunked all to heck and gone and while there might be some redeeming qualities buried pretty deep, this was what it was, and what it was was a skunked pale lager.

Apr 20, 2009 Appearance: Pours a clear, cadmium yellow body with a thinnish, white head.
Smell: Initial wafts of skunk -- afterwards, what remains is light, delicate notes of maltiness and a slight trace of vaguely spicy hops.
Taste: Light pale malts with a subdued clover honey sweetness and touch of fresh bread. Slight spicy hops with a balancing bitterness. Finishes dry, crisp, and fairly clean.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: Well, that was surprisingly sufficient. Nicely balanced and easily drinkable.

Apr 18, 2009 Updated: Jun 28, 2009On tap @ Ditka Dome. Typical pale lager, except with a little more hops than usual. A little grassy with a lot of corn and blah. Not to bad for a pale lager, but would drink this over Bud/Miller.

Apr 16, 2009 My Bottom Line:
This skunked Pale Lager does offer some wet hay flavors before plummeting into a watery and mineral void. This is not for the flavor-seeking.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam sinks into the transparent pale yellow.
-Green Bullet hops? Really? Wow.
-Bubbles take more room than anything else in the mouthfeel.
-The body is a tad too slender for my tastes, making this absurdly drinkable.
Bottle.
