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!

Golden color......very thin head. Slightly sweet malt aroma. Somewhat of a sweet malt taste throughout, with just a hint of bitterness......pretty crisp mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pours a yellow color with no head. The aroma is malt and water. Taste is the same. Does have somewhat of a hop bite to it. Not a very good beer.

12oz bottle-Pours a clear golden with a nice white head that dissipates into a small ring. The aroma is that of malt, bread, and a hint of hops. Taste of the same with a bit more malt and hops thrown in. This light to med bodied brew is not bad for Shiner but nothing to write home about.

Clear gold with a fluffy white head. Malty, bready aroma with a somewhat thin malt taste. Definitely taste the Hallertau, but it’s really a poor imitation of the style. Not awful by any stretch, but nothing compared to a decent German helles.

Bottle - Excellent clarity and nice color with a white head. Very bready aroma. A very nice beer. I think the flavor could stand for a tad more maltiness and a hint less sweetness.

Has a sweet, bread malt flavor. Light on hops and finishes smooth and clean.
