| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jan 3, 2009 Bottle. Spicy hop aroma. Golden color, small white head. Flavor is malty, with spicy hops and grass. Interesting. BrewDad (2372), Olympia, Washington, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jan 2, 2009 12oz Bottle – 99 Bottles – Federal Way, WA – Nice wheat malt flavor and aroma. This was nice lager and easy to drink light with the spices. Easy drinking beer for a hot summer day. esjaygee (1581), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA
| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Dec 21, 2008 Golden yellow with a thin white head. Aroma of eucalyptus, cornstalk and must. Sounds inviting, doesn’t it? Taste of pale malts, mild sweet malts, grain and corn. Not a big fan of this style and this wasn’t a good rendition of it either. GeneralGao (3071), Iowa City, Iowa, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 20, 2008 12oz bottle. Poured a clear gold color with a white head. Smelled of hay, cereal grain, pale malt, and grassy hops. Light bodied and delicately sweet with pale malt, grass, and hay flavors. Not awful. Actually went well with my barbeque.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Dec 16, 2008 Pours a clear golden yellow with a dense, lasting, off-white head. The nose is a dusty, sweet and grainy with a touch of grassy/floral hops in the background. The palate is light and soft, almost creamy, until you hit a crisp metallic finish. Sweet, grainy malt with a touch of floral hops at the clean finish. I would prefer this any day over most pale lagers, but it is not a particularly tasty rendition of the style.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Dec 16, 2008 12oz bottle. Beer pours a shiny light golden color, with a medium foamy white head and lots of lacing. It smells of cracker malt and cereal grains. The taste has a lot more of the cereal malt, with a light floral hoppiness. It is smooth with light carbonation and a strong grainy aftertaste. Good drinking beer.

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Dec 12, 2008 12oz in Bordeaux glass. After trying a Spaten Premium on draft, I was really hoping to find a similar beer from a little closer to home. The Shiner product is just too sweet to be really enjoyable. If the malt character was pushed up, the sweetness would be justified.
