Shiner Holiday Cheer

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

Dark ruby pour. Sweet notes apparent on the nose. Pecan taste is prevalent with a great aftertaste. Prost!

Pours a big fluffy 3 finger tan head. Body is dark brown in color with lots of bubbles rising. Head retention and lacing are above average Aroma is of tons of sweet peach. There is also some malt in there but the main scent is very fruity, almost like candy Flavor is sweet but not overly. Fruity, juicy peaches with some of the yeast flavors of a dunkelweizen. Lightly toasted malt is also there with some dry pecans at the end. Hops are pretty non existant Mouth feel is lighter than most winter seasonal. Carbonation is right in the middle. Wish head would have stayed longer Overall this is a very good beer. Definitely one of a kind. The aroma and taste of the peaches really make this beer. The pecans dont play a big role but I like it that way. Wish this beer was available all year

This winter seasonal is not as spicy as others with its peach notes and hint of roasted pecan. this is a winner for the little brewery that could.

Beautiful color here and the nose puts the peaches right there for you without being too strong. The flavor is a little less pronounced. I’m not sure where the pecans are, but I don’t explicitly taste them. Pretty solid overall effort although there is nothing particularly holiday about it.

Stunning reddish brown leather color. Thick frothy off white head. I can definitely taste some peach essence upfront with slight bitter pecan notes in the aftertaste. Smells a bit like peach cobbler with the emphasis on the crust. Overall this is more complex than I thought it would end up being. A decent brew for the cool winter months.

Pour is darker than I expected. A good auburn-brown. Aroma is very nice. Flurry of cranberries and spice. Flavor is very nice as well. Much cranberry flavor is very present. Little ginger, clove, allspice, etc. Good stuff.

Peaches & pecans? For Shiner, this is thinking outside the box on this one. It does smell and taste of peaches..has the Dunkelweizen flavor and taste. Big white head with nice lacing. Best Shiner product since the Mazan 96. Will buy more.

Poured from bottle extremely cold. Beautiful amber color and a strong armoa of peaches and caramel. The taste is a little weird, though, and taking a bit to get used to, but the peach and pecan aftertaste is pleasing.
