Shiner Bock

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

This beer calls itself a bock, but the taste is typical of a better-than-average American lager. Initially the carbination is prevalent, then settles into a cola-tasting beverage.

This beer was deceptive. When I saw the nice dark amber color I thought I was on to something good. Was I ever surprised! Bland and tasteless are the only 2 words I can think of to describe this beer.

the worst beer i have ever had. Had it in Texas on tap. my brother recoommended it. God awefull beer. Dont ever try

The Budweiser of bock beers in my opinion. Light weak malty flavor. Minimal aroma. Not very interesting.

Bottle. Dark amber color, small head. Grainy, aroma with some hops. malty, caramel taste, some breadiness but leaves an unpleasant bitterness. A bit thin and macro tasting but not terrible.

cereal, floral, brown, clear, aminimal head, tan foam, medium sweetness, lightly bitter, medium body, creamy, lively, I agree with imbiberAZ, its a little thin, but i enjoyed it alot

Poured from the bottle a clear medium dark with a touch of red. Small white head with tiny bubbles and almost no lacing. Smells a bit malty and musty. Flavor is sweet, mildly grainy, with a slight hop and spice aftertaste. I prefer some of their other styles (Hefeweizen, Kolsch, Dunkelweizen) over this, but it’s still tasty.

The price is always right for Shiner’s Bock so I pick up 6-pak bottles about 3 times a year including recently. I wouldn’t call it decent. I feel sorry for it. It’ s like the little beer that couldn’t. There’s the very faint nose of fullness and richness, but it’s not complete. It poured decent and dark but it must’ve be artificial coloring because the body is thin. Taste also has echoes of possible greatness but thin and watery on palate. Flavor is decent but far away. What I’m trying to say is this could easily, with some love and attention, be a great beer, but it’s mediocre and seems allright with it. If I had to tuneup my car I wouldn’t even buy this if it was 3.99, I’d buy modelo especial in cans.
