UNRIVALED TASTE THAT MAKES STEINLAGER NEW ZEALAND'S FINEST.
Steinlager Classic’s international award-winning taste is envied by brewers the world over.

Steinlager Classic has a robust hop nose of fresh-cut green grass and a full flavour delivered by the Green Bullet hop, grown in Nelson at 41 degrees latitude, the perfect hop-growing location.

The body of Steinlager Classic delivers a full flavour that is perfectly balanced with a dry, tangy finish and crisp clean bitterness.

draft. Not a whole lot of flavor, your typical pale yellow lager. Pretty clean and refreshing though. Not too bad if served cold on a hot day.

On tap at Denniston Dog, Westport. Clear golden with small white head. Malty, bit grainy, watery, some bitterness in finish. Not the worst macro lager out there.

Pint on tap at Jack Tar, Auckland. Crystal clear amber beer with a thin foamy white head. High fine carbonation. Plasticine and biscuit aroma. Good lacing. Taste is crisp, refreshing with a typical euro-Lager finish, sweet malt and tinny hops.

Bottle at Nuku'alofa airport. Looks standard yellow, smells of tin and caramel. Taste is soft chewy grain and granulated brown sugar. Mouthfeel is full. A standard, boring, drinkable lager.

Bottle from Isetan, Kuala Lumpur. Poured a crystal clear golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, hay, light toffee. The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet with a light, watery, toffee malt, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.
