Bottled. An amber beer with a thin lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of caramel and malt as well as a bit of metal. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, and metal, leading to a dry finish.

"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." - Commercial Description. Sure... all I can say is that is pure bs. Had a skunky feel and lousy aftertaste. Bland and dissapointing.

33 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden yellow with a small and chalk white head. Aroma is light citrusy and grassy, rather crisp and inviting. Citrusy, light cornish and crisp grassy bitter flavoured. Medium dry and vague citrusy flavoured finish. Good pale lager.

Bottled. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt, eggs, and bread. The flavor is sweet with notes of bread and light notes of cardboard. A bit boring. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

bottle. Ironic they are showing us some rough rubgy guys oin the beer, when this is actually some poor pathetic lager. Pours clear golden, thick white head. aroma, just weak, hops, some grains, malts, all in a weak way. Taste, hops, corn like flavor forward, sweet malts, reains better than many other pale lagers, dry finish, skunly metallic palate.

Pours pale yellow into a shaker. Bright white micro head meringues and craters as it slowly recedes leaving spider lacing. Bright malt and mild hop aromas. Light and crisp with lemon and hops from front to back. Sour finish.

Overall Impression: Eh, OK, but hardly memorable, wouldn't turn one down, but wouldn't go out my way to get it.
Not sure I can remember another NZ beer that I've tried, is there another one I'm forgetting? I don't know.

Corn aroma. Light chemical, but not so bad, a lot better than I expected. Some hops. Yellow, and a little sweet.
