Shiner 98 Bavarian Style Amber Lager

Formerly brewed at Spoetzl Brewery (Gambrinus Company)
Style: American Dark Lager
Shiner, Texas USA

Little aroma, perfect dark amber color, medium beige head was the best part of the flavor. The beer itself tasted watery and slightly tangy.

This amber beer poured with a miniscule beige head. There is a deep malt flavor that is not at all sweet. The finish is chalky and slightly bitter.

12oz bottle. Filtered orange-copper color. Very smooth and drinkable with a malty sweetness. Very minimal hop presence. Quite enjoyable session beer.

Light caramel aroma. Coppery amber color with a white head that rapidly flattened. Medium body with light, fizzy carbonation. Flavor is light caramel with some citrus/fruit hop. The finish is clean, and lightly bitter. Very drinkable.

This bottled brew from JSquire at a rating party poured a small sized head of foamy fine to large sized white colored bubbles that were and left behind a transparent softly carbonated golden brown colored body and a poor lacing. The aroma was musty and malt hop. The mouth feel was weakly tingly at the start and at the finish. The flavor contained notes of malt and hops. An OK brew just nothing special.

Bottle. Clear golden color, not much head. Smells like honey and straw, although mostly like nothing. There’s some malt character to this stuff, but mostly it tastes like a more flavorful standard American lager. I’m not sure how much it costs, but it’s a perfectly fine session beer and most non-craft beer drinkers would like it ok. Goes down smooth without totally tasting like water.

Another mediocre/disappointing Shiner beer... not a very spectacular pour, and there is this very strange almost latex taste to it. Yuck. It is a sin to call this even Bavarian style.

A good addition to the Shiner collection here. Golden honey pour with a good unique taste.
