Shiner Blonde

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

Golden with fast dissipating white head / Skunky grain nose / Medium body, flat without much carbonation or hops / Simple grain flavors / Below average.

tried this the other day at a wedding reception. i was very surprised at how good it was. i will be buying this sometime.

A slightly below average pilsener. Aroma of stale beer. Pour was a light clear gold with little bubbles and no head. Taste was corn, some malt and that’s it. Thicker mouthfeel than I expected and not enough carbonation. Very wet finish.

Pours a typical clear bright yellow with a nice thick head. Aroma is malty and of average strength. Flavor is malty and on the thin side, no complexity. It feels a little watery, rather like a "light" beer. It is nice and smooth but not particularly delightful to drink.

Slightly sweet corn smell. Well carbonated, slight corn taste up front, quickly dissipating. Muted simple taste overall, and not very bitter at all. Nothing too pronounced, and a short finish. Decent, but nothing to go out of the way for.

Bottle. I was expecting more of a white beer, though this was very much a straight forward Pilsener. All of the taste in this seemed muted. No big aroma, not much malt, hop or barley. Very average.

Pours pale see-through yellow with small white head and lots of bubbles. Aroma is faint cereal. Minimalist flavor... as in none. Completely non-offensive... like diet-pilsner. Maybe vanilla rice.

Very slight citrusy-hop aroma with bready notes. Golden straw color. Small white head disappears instantly with no lacing. Grainy flavor with a cloying, sweet finish. A bit mouthcoating. I had tried this last year and the hops were much more prevalent. Overall pretty bland.
