Very surprized this is made by Lion, thought it was some kinda import. Bottle appears old even tho I jsut bought it at Winerak. Opened the stuff smells old, can’t read the date code on the bottom, its smeared. The smell is reminicent of one of the few beers that made me gag, Jaguar, wew. Fortunately the taste is not as bad but its a Sweet older taste with a very slight tart hint behind it. Barely any carbonation. Color is hazy brown. Weird for a premium lager and I like lagers, so what gives. Not very enjoyable. I guess its just old, will try again if I ever come across it again. Somewhat oxidized beer finish, dull and old, did I say old yet?

Labeled Stegmaier Summer Stock Pils: Horrid smell of buttery bran and corn flakes, with shitty undertones. Clear yellow, thin head. Watery. Lemony cardboard flavor. I get the sense that the attempt is to be different from a macro, but different isn’t always better. Pretty bad. Side note: After rating, I noticed this beer has undergone a series of re-branding. I think I know why.

Bottle labeled Stegmaier White Ale: Shitty barley malt aroma. Cloudy golden, thin head. Weak coriander then plastic. Finishes tart. Somewhat watery. Bad representation of the style, but drinkable.

Bottle as Stegmaier Gold from local discount grocery. Pours gold with a white head. Aroma is a bit bready. Near medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is bready with a decent amount of hop - considering the style. Much more to this than a standard macro.
