Shiner Bock

Brewed by Spoetzl Brewery (Gambrinus Company)
Style: American Dark Lager
Shiner, Texas USA

One of my favorite "go-to" beers when you just want to have a couple and relax without thinking too hard. Sometimes the beer can go down creamy and smooth, and sometimes it has a harsher effect on the pallett. I’m convinced it depends on ones mood and physical state. Recommended fo sure!

tap. amber pour with thin head. light nutty sweet malts. light fruit. light.

Poured amber. Aroma - Malt and caramel. Taste - Roast malt and caramel. A bit watery. Not much going on here.

Bottle at Chiles in Osan, South Korea. Nice to see a different beer in a country that suffers from poor beer. Pours amber/brown with a tan head. Aroma is weak but is slightly sweet. Tastes light and sweet, more malty than hoppy. Easy to drink. Good job!

A very good session beer, and a great gateway beer, but not really as good as I had thought or hoped for. Pours a deep ruby red. No real hops or barley in this one. Some carmel notes, almost a candy like finish. Thin and good.

Bottle. Dark brown with a fizzy white head that didn’t last long. No lacing on the glass. Slight nutty, roasty aroma. Flavor is a little complex, with roasted malt, a touch of sweetness and a little nutty flavor. A little over carbonated, and a bit thin and watery. A refreshing beer with some body to it.

pours a dark copper with a thin head. Aroma is dark fruity malt. Malt flavour, some caramel and nutty tones.

Comes out of the tap a clear, appetizing mahogany, not much head. Aroma is malty with a fruity undertone - apple or pear. Flavor is mainly malty with a hint of fruit and touches of sweetness, hops, and nutty taste. Texture is smooth and fizzy like cola.
