Commercial Description:
You're holding an old-world inspired anniversary beer, commemorating 99 years of handcrafted brewing at the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas. The countdown to 100 continues with this refreshingly bright Munich Style Helles Lager. Every glass of malty gold is topped with an aromatic cloud of mild, Hallertau hoppiness. Its slightly sweet finish is perfectly suited for any celebration. Prosit!

12oz bottle from Sidneys Wine and Spirits (New Orleans, LA). Pours a crystal clear golden yellow with a one finger bright white head that settles slowly and laces the glass. Aroma is sweet and floral with notes of malt, yeast, grain, and honey. Flavor is sweet and floral as well with notes of grain, yeast, malt, some hints of ripe fruit and floral hops. Generally light body with a slightly sweet and slightly sour bready finish.

Meh...its ok. Kinda watery and thin on flavor. Aroma is ok. Couldn’t really discern the Hallertau though.

Smooth taste. A little weaker and watery than I would have liked. Nice aroma, tastes with a hint of nuts. A little stronger than the blonde.

Bottle. Very clean clear honey body with a ¼” dense head. Nose-very dusty, very industrial. Taste-not nearly as offensive as the nose. Low-medium sweet, corn husk, musty, mildew, not a pleasant after taste (too dusty) but an overall very nice flavor. Not too sweet, good aroma hops, a little on the sweet side. Would get a much better score if it didn’t taste so damn musty and dusty.

Medium sized white head thats short lived leaving behind some spotty lace. Clear, light amber color. Nose of spent grains, lightly sweet malts. Lightly medium body, decent carbonation, sorta pastey. Medium sweet malt flavors, lightly grainy and bready, maybe some light grassy notes. Lightly sweet and toasty finish. rating #99, like it says on the neck label, hmmmm.

The aroma is corn malt, sour kraut, and grass hops. The appearance is pale gold with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma but not as cheap or sour as I was expecting. The palate is thin but right for the style. Overall its not a good beer but I find it drinkable none the less.
