Steinlager




'Steinlager' sounds like a beer that Hitler would drink

This is 'New Zealand's Finest Lager' according to the bottle. I will say it has a fairly cool logo/bottle design, but
as for the beer, it's really a bit of a Euro lager copycat in the vein of Beck's and co. It doesn't hold a candle to
Monteith's and Mac's.

It claims to be - Crisp. Clean. Full Flavour. It is crisp, it's clean at the start, but it certainly is not full flavoured.

It does have that light, crisp taste to it to begin with, but the aftertaste is a bit crude with that sharp carbonation
to close it out. If you like Euro lagers, and this is cheaper at the bottle shop then go for it, but that's the only
reason I would suggest this beer.

It's a bit light on flavour, some subtle malt tones, and the the carbonation is poor.

6/10
