Steinlager, Lager (New Zealand) 
Brewed by the giant Australian corporation Lion Nathan, the label claims "New Zealand's Finest" and "World's Best Lager", suggesting an element of delusion somewhere in the marketing department. Having said that, this is not a bad lager by any means, even though it may be unfashionable to say so. It pours pale yellow/gold with a puffy white head. On the nose it is fairly clean, with a touch of sweet corn, a little bit of malt, and the merest whiff of grassy, nettly hops (New Zealand Bullet hops are used). It is mouthfilling and quite rich and sweet as it strikes the palate, with a nice supporting cushion of malt and a dry, apple and citrus acidity that freshens up the finish. Not the best in the world bu a long shot, but not a bad lager. 5.0% ABV, 33cl, �0.79, Asda, Majestic, Morrisons, Surf4beer. |  |
