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!

Pours clear, yellow, with a lightly sour, grassy aroma that relaxes once the beer has been out for a bit. Grassy flavor with a sweeter aftertaste. Moderate mouth feel. Not my -favorite- lager, but not a bad one.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with Swalden_28 (thanks!). Poured a light yellow color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of grains, grass, and lightly bready. Tastes of of the same with some citrus in the finish. Thinner body.

Pours a bright yellow with a white head and decent carbonation. Aroma is of corn, faint wheat and hops. Flavor is hoppier than in the aroma and moreso than most lagers. Better than a traditional American lager, but wouldn’t be my first choice when reaching for a summer beer.

Very good on tap, but not worth the typical $5 price tag. But it’s a great starter beer for those who only drink BUD. Can’t wait to see what they do for 100

Bottle. Pours a light golden color with 2 finger white head and lots of carbonation. Nose is really mild. Grass, grain and a bit of hops. Palate is mellow with malt, more grainy grass and a touch of sweet corn with just a touch of hop in the finish, but a honey like taste over rides it. Medium mouth feel with no lacing to speak of - not bad for the style – a good summer session beer.

Great color and pretty damn amazing when drunk warm. Another great beer in my opinion from Shiner

Poured a nice clear yellow with fluffy white head that hung around for a while. Aroma is subdued hoppiness with hints of citrus. Flavor is nicely malty that is balanced by the hops. Mouthfeel is good. Not my favorite style, but this is very high on the drinkability scale.

Found this one bottled at Sav Way in Geneva, Illinois. Clear, medium yellow pour with a thin and filmy head that dissipated rapidly, slightly bubbly, with a light floral and citrusy nose, sweet and malty with a nice, mild and balanced taste and a soft caramel finish. Not my favorite style but this is a highly drinkable beer.
