Shiner Bock

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

Ok, the beer from the little Texas town. It is called a Bock, but it is a dark lager, but like their other beers, it is designed to please a majority. Has off-white head with minimal retention. Nice Dark amber color and malty flavor with slight roast tones. Living in Texas I get this beer pretty fresh. I buy this occasionally. I like it.

Has a decent light malt taste and hint of hops. Not much here. Better than light beers, but if this is the best beer in a bar, I’d prefer to leave than drink the unbock, shiner bock.

Red gold in color, did not pour with much head, but what there was was a nice white. It smells a little gassy, but I’ve had it in my fridge a while. Ew. This beer tastes like a bud light or the like.

Amber color with a small head. Tangy malt aroma with an all malt taste and some hints of coloa. Crisp finish. This is the Pyramid Hefe of Texas as far as popularity goes. It is the token "micro."

Overall, pretty light for a Bock. Not bad for a beer when you have very limited options. Definately will pick up again.

Pours amber/red color. Doesnt seem like a bock, much too watery. tastes and smells of sweet malt with hardly and hops

Nothing special, but all over the place around here - your best bet if you find yourself in Texas at a place with no beer selection, as it is a big step up from weak tasting pale macrolager. Pours dark, small head, almost no aroma. Mild flavor (ironic given its supposed style), but drinkable.

Pours an amber color. no lacing on glass with very little head. The taste doesnt remind me of a bock at all. To me, it really isnt a bock, it is a step up from the typical american style pale lager. Not awful but certainly nothing special either.
