Bottle. Great hoppy aroma. Nice hop flavor, reminiscent of the aroma. Full flavored. Fair mouthfeel, though. Slightly thin due to the lack of fizz. Golden color visible evn through the green bottle. Mild carbonation, though, lacking the fizz that I like. Great lager, though. Defninitely a repeat buy for me.

After drinking a Kokanee and a Bud, this was great. Lot of flavour. Great hops prescence. Fruity prescence. Slight yeastiness. Lovely smooth maltiness. Full bodied. Lasting (yet small) head. But maybe the previous two beers affected my judgement...

Pale golden colour with a thick white head. Strong aroma of grass and hay along with some pale malt. Smell also reminds me of bees-wax. No skunkiness, which is in itself notable, especially with these green bottles. Flavour is grassy with a nicely bitter finish. Interesting, and very different from every other pale lager I’ve ever had.

Blonde coloured body with a thinnish white head. Aroma of malt and some miniscule hops. Light to Medium-bodied; Clean and bubbly mouthful with the standard light lager flavour. Aftertaste clean and refined. Overall, not the worst beer I could imagine, but definitely not the best. I sampled this on draught in Melbourne, Australia.

750ml green bottle. Poured gold. Soap sud like head, huge bubbles, head fizzled out almost instantly. Grass/skunk aroma. Clean tasting, nice Saaz-like bitterness in the finish, but nothing groundbreaking.

I admit I bought this because it reminded me of my heavy metal heroes from the 80’s and how they bragged about drinking Steinlager. This is definitely not the best lager I have ever had, nor is it the worst; however, I am pretty sure I won’t buy a six pack of this anytime soon. Long live rock.

Pours a pale yellow color. Smells is of grains and metal. Seems highly carbonated. Flavor has a little bit of skunk and metallic grainy taste. Not really too good.
