Shiner Blonde

Brewed by Spoetzl Brewery (Gambrinus Company)
Style: Pilsener
Shiner, Texas USA

12 oz. can with a 01-18-05 drink by date. Pours clear gold with a big white head. Has a light, spicy black pepper smell. Light bodied with a lively mouthfeel. Taste is light lagar grainy, spicy black pepper. Has a clean crisp after taste. Your basic pale lagar here, for $4.23 a sixer it’s fresh and competively priced with the BMC crowd.Sept 2004

Bottle...yeah. Not much to this one. While it’s not terrible...it certianly does not have much flavor. Has that bitter sort of after bite that many subpar lagers tend to carry. Won’t be flifin’ my hard earned cash on this one anytime soon.

Tastes similar to Shiner Light. Has a aroma similar to other Shiner beers. Good drinkability.

Very good. Almost tastes like a like. If you go with the Spoetzl Brewery though, stick to the darker stuff.

This almost seems like light beer. Not bad, just not real good. No need to buy anymore of it

I didn’t have any real problems with the Shiner Blonde (bottle). It was pretty much a regular ol’ beer, but it had a certain sweetness that seemed to distinguish it from others. Of course, it was also pretty ripe, and I caught a whiff of that nasty grass/hay smell a couple times. I drank this at a tailgate, and, given the situation, Shiner Blonde wasn’t too bad.

Pours thin, no head, no lace. Smells like a weak pilsner with grass and corn smells. Fizzy mouthful, grassy taste. Agree that this could be a macro brew. Disappointing compared to the bock.
