LeopardMan (53), New Zealand Jan 9, 2004 This is a standard lager which despite the hype (this is supposedly a national icon), doesn't manage to hide the fact.
Aroma and flavour-wise Steinie pretty much is what it is; although, on the bright side, it has greatly improved since I last tried it many years ago. It was, if memory serves, very much "water"; in fact, I came here fully expecting to give it a much lower score.
Also, "Nice" fluffy head and good lacing.
daknole (1126), Plantation, Florida, USA Nov 21, 2008 I really dont like these types of beers. Just pathetic. Light yellow. white head. Stank ass grain smell. Stank ass grain flavor. Overall rating: STANK ASS. 1FastSTi (2423), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA Nov 21, 2008 Pours to a watery yellow body with a thin foamy white head. The aroma is 100% skunk with a light grain. The flavor is silage (not the good kind() and skunky hops. Very blah! Chock full of something and it’s not good. The palate is skunky and average at best. illidurit (489), Santa Cruz, California, USA Nov 21, 2008 Poured into a pint glass. Yellowish gold with a frothy white head that recedes quickly and leaves little lacing. Aromas of fusel alcohol and grain. Sort of pils malty base with a miniscule dash of noble hops. Dry water-cracker finish, lots of carbonation. There’s even a little bitterness at the back of the palate, although that may be a metallic note rather than a hop note. Not overtly adjunct-laden, which is nice. Not awful. Ughsmash (3148), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Nov 1, 2008 Thanks to Blake for bringing the bottle (sorta). Poured clear, brighter pale golden with a rather well-retained cap of white head. The aroma was impressive for the amount of skunkage going on in here.. even after 8 minutes.. some pale malts and some honey, but the skunk was ever-so-present. The flavor strayed from that a little bit, picking up some honey sweetness.. still carried through plenty of skunk. Lighter-bodied with adequate carbonation on the palate.. a bit tacky with too much skunk still. Not so good. terrybail (184), , Ontario, Canada Oct 31, 2008 Bottle From th LCBO
