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.

Bottle. Grassy hop aroma. Brassy golden color with a respectable white head that laces a little. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Pale malt, but a lot of grassy hop. Comes a bit veg and a bit fruity, but dry it is. Bitter as well. Crisp. Oh so much better than the American macros.

Poured from "King Kahuna" bottle into a Lager glass. Aroma is . . . different from the good beer I have been drinking recently. . .smells of grass (both the type growing in your yard as well as the illegal drug), there is also light citrus, heavy skunk and light malt. Pour typical golden straw color of mass produced pale lagers. Frothy white head and it appears to be very over carbonated. Over carbonation confirmed on taste. Watery to bitter flavor. Tastes cheap.

33cl can. Gold, thick white head. Slightly metallic stale cereal aroma. Faint lemon hop. Some creaminess. Yeah it’s ok. It’s a lager with some nice crispness on finish.

Straight forward mainstream lager that is perhaps a bit smoother than usual and with some grassy notes. One of the better BMC types around

Clear golden with a bubbly white head. Aroma and flaovr were similar, sweet malts, and light grassy hops. Crisp body. Pretty good pale lager, but still nothing exciting.

330 ml bottle at Arlanda airport. Golden body with a white head. Malty and slightly hoppy aroma. Relatively ordinary pilsner, but nice and refreshing.

Green 11 oz bottle for $1.35 at Vintage Estates. Pop the lid and there is a sharp veggie cabage or cannabis flower aroma. In the glass the smell clears to a more acceptable clean beer aroma. Has the appearance of any other typical pale yellow american lager. Head foam is creamy white. Fairly interesting flavor like a pilsner, perhaps even a premium lager. Has a little more flavor than I’m used to in a pale lager. Thin lacing on the side of the glass. Industrial bitterness begins to build on the back of the palate. Different kind of bitterness, something between a malt and hop, but definately bitter. Decent carbonation. Overall just a little more than I care for in the pale lager style and certainly has its own personality and idiosyncracies. Schmidt’s, carlsburgh and old german are all way better tasting than this and two of those are much less expensive. That industrial medium bitterness hangs for a while on the finish.

Bottle. Bit of skunk in the aroma, that mostly went away on full pour. Clear golden, small whitish head. Taste is bright, can taste the grain, and a bit of bitter in there too. Decent, clean lager, not much more or less.

This is the first beer I have encountered from this brewer. Sampled from a 12 oz green bottle this beer poured a pale yellow color with a small soapy white head that faded quickly. The aroma is tangy with a hint of skunk. The flavor is sour and tangy macro lager with a moderate skunkyness. The finish is fairly mild. A fairly typical macro pale lager.
