Shiner Blonde

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

( 12oz bottle ) Pours a clear pale yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of grass, skunk, and cereal. Flavor of grass, light metallic, and sweet malt.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma of grass, grains, glass, and some skunk. Poured yellow/urine in color with a large, white head that greatly diminished and ultimately only lasted around the edges. Clear. Sparkling. Flavor is lightly sweet. Tastes of pale malts, hops, and grains. Light body. Thin, slightly dry texture. Average carbonation. Grain and pale malt finish. Really lacking in flavor.

fizzy head. Aromas of honey and grains that it has very little flavor not much eles to say

Golden yellow color, a little bit of grain in the aroma, wheaty and metallic flavor, crisp and light.

This one fooled me. It sure didn’t have most of the characteristics your think of as a Pilsener. Tasted more like a light American wheat ale. A bit fruity. Dry finish. Lightly hopped. Pretty watery and lacking in flavor. A little pale malt shows in the nose.

I picked up a mixed six-pack of Shiner. Blonde was another dog in the six-pack. Just nothing going on here.

After drinking this, I really don’t feel like writing a nice long rating, because it was hardly worth the effort of drinking it. It fit the bill of being refreshing, but felt like I was drinking some shoddy macro attempt at a blonde.

Bottle: Golden pour with perfect clarity and a white that that won’t retain at all. Sweet pale malt aroma- a touch doughy and sugary with a touch of grass. Fizzy thin texture- has some macro sweet pale malts in the flavor- lacking body with brief flavors and nearly no hop character. Very boring and macro feeling.
