This IS the best beer that Shiner makes - it has more of a traditional German flavor than the basically bland bock.

This beer was kind of scattered and all over the place with the flavor. A little too carbonated, sweet almost syrupy malts, some light roasty caramel flavors, and watered down cardboard covered in honey. Bland, lame

Pours amber with a thick white head. aroma is mainly citrus and malts. Slightly sweet, malty flavor. Finish left a strange metallic feeling in my mouth.

Amber with an off white head. Aroma is lightly malted with some nutty and roasted notes. Tastes highly carbonated like carbonated water bad. Some malt, but no real taste at all. Just carbonated, fizzy, malt water. Fizzy carbon mouthfeel that ends dry.

Ok, so this is probably the best of the Shiner beers I’ve had...which really isn’t saying a whole lot. Drinkable if you need to.

Thanks to John for being generous and giving me a bottle. Seeing the ratings, I don’t expect much... It pours to an actively carbonated deep amber body with a pretty thick creamy white head. The aroma is stale and cardboardy. Old pine cones. The flavor is cereal and soapy grass hops. Tastes nothing like a fest beer. Not a fan.

Pours a clear amber color, small white head. Aroma is cereal malt, a little apple nuance, very grainy. Flavor is smooth, a little soapy, cereal malts, and grains, interesting.

Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells of citrus and malt liquor. Taste is extremely metallic with some mellowing orange notes, mainly a zest that reminds me of cleaner with some pine sol thrown in. Watery and plain.
