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!

Bottle from Belmont Party. Poured clear golden color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate sweet malty aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Medium balanced flavor with a light bittersweet finish of moderate duration. My expectations where met with a soft brew.

Clear gold with a fleeting head. Mild sweet bread malty aroma. Smooth medium body. Nice flavor is grainy cracker malts with some honey sweetness. Simple but tasty.

Poured a nice clear gold color with a head that did not last at all. The aroma is OK but nothing to write home about, a little hoppiness. Not much to the flavor or mouthfeel either. This is more of a chugging beer for me which is exactly what I did. There is just not much too this beer.

Perfectly respectable lawn mower beer. This probably would have tasted better ice col. Poured a gold color with a lot of carbonation. Kind of a "generic beer" flavor with some fairly bland malt and not much in the way of hops. Wouldn’t go out of my way for this one, but if someone brought over a six-pack I wouldn’t be sad.

bottle. poured a clear gold with a fizzy thin head that diminished quickly. aroma of malts, hops, and a small hint of citrus. flavor is kinda fruity with some sweetness. not very impressive.
