Shiner Blonde

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

A solid American Pilsener that goes great with food. You shouldn’t and can’t expect much more from this beer.

Hops and straw to the nose. Yellow, white head with good lacing, very clean flavor with very mild hops bitterness at the end. No metallic, skunky, or moldy flavors like so many american lagers. Good grilling beer.

Bla, good thing I am using this beer to wash down food, otherwise I would not be able to finish it. Taste exactly like Bud, and we all know how crappy that is!

Clear gold color with a small, quickly disappearing head. Aroma of yeast, grass and maybe a hint of citrus, slightly sour. Taste is very mild and malty, bordering on watery with a touch of wheat. Silky on the palate with a lightly carbonated mouthfeel. Little to recommend this brew. Slightly above your average macro and more expensive. That’s the best I can say.

It is really a generic beer that is much harder to find. It has some more taste to it, but nothing worth seeking out.

Somewhat yeasty aroma, but overall fairly mellow. Light, crystal clear sparkling yellow appearance with a frothy white head that diminishes after a couple of minutes. Flavor is yeasty with a very light bitterness at the end. Fizzy and peppery on the palate, and very light.

Pale yellow, watery. Tastes like Budweiser, only slightly more expensive. Won't have this again.

Quite possibly the lightest clear yellow I've seen in a long while, nearly lighter the lemonade, but it grows a fairly decent white crown and has some steady carbonation within. Some stringy globs of lace stick. Aroma is starchy and plain with an off-sweetness of corn husk and dulled grasses, maintains a slight crispness, but comes across way too starchy for my liking Although, that resides as it warms. The taste is about what you'd expect, a bit sweet, not as starchy as the smell but its there, dulled hops, crisp sweet malts, lingering husk grain thats a bit raw and the kind of bittering that I just don't like where its kinda metalic and twingey with a sharp hard water tone. Some of that fades though as it warms. The feel is actually pretty darn good considering. Nice crispness in the middle. One of the better, more full pale lager/pilsners I've come across. If it weren't for the finish of off bittering it would be perfect I think. But that said its still a bit on the boring side, the sweetness isn't to bad once it warms up a bit in both the smell and flavor. As cold this seemed really off and kinda nasty, but as it warmed I really grew to liking it, so I tweeked the numbers to reflect the warmer side of things.
