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.

Bottle from Total Wine and More (Roseville). Slightly brassy gold color with a fizzy white head that rapidly declined. Smells of grain and grassy hop. A bit thin in body with fizzy carbonation. The flavor is lightly bready with not all that much noble hop. Finishes ok. Fits the style. Pair it with hot dogs.

Medium gold colored body with a lightly off white head. The aroma is like rising bread dough with some potting soil. Fairly earthy with it’s malt character. The taste is strangely metallic with raw bread dough and wood. There is also some butter in here, which is, not at all pleasant. A bizarre beer with little to recommend.
