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.

poisoneddwarf (881) - Rathdrum, Idaho, USA - JUL 9, 2010
11.15 oz bottle into English pint. Classic green bottle skunk aroma. Cheap grain, also. Pours a clear golden hue with a thick dissipating head that leaves a scrim of foam and nice spotty lace. Big bubbles float to the surface. Taste is skunk, corn, a little sweet. Slightly above your average macro, but not much. Medium-high carbonation, creamy mouthfeel. Better than average for this style, but I’ll never buy it again (I only bought it to get New Zealand on the map).

Well there is nothing special about this beer except its price and that its imported

vanDahl (9) - Churchill, AUSTRALIA - JUN 12, 2010 does not count
330ml bottle. Poured light golden with a dense but thin head that quickly diminished. Hint of grain on the nose. Clean, acceptable taste but a lingering sticky aftertaste. Average beer brewed for big sessions.

Whenever someone says "world’s best beer" on the label I know it’s not going to be good. Average pale lager. Yellow. Pale malts nose and palate. Rated 3/22/2000

Tasted skunky, the plane trip from NZ certainly do it any favors and I have a feeling it sat on the shelf too long.

verymerrymonk (390) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - MAY 6, 2010
Pours a clear yellow body with a small fizzy head. Sweet and skunky, just like I enjoy my green bottle lagers. Not as bad as others of its type.

Light yellow pour with thick white head. Smells like Heineken/Fosters mix, tastes like it as well. Not good.

Bottle from Total Wine import section. Yellow clear watery pour with white fizzy head. Mild bitter finish very thin and bland.
