Pours a light amber color with very little head. Not much aroma to speak of, and the taste is just a touch of malt and bitterness. I enjoy Shiner Bock, but would never seek this one out.

Not much to go on here, just a lighter version of the classic Shiner bock.

Bottle from family pack. Pours a nice gold color with a decent, foamy white head that slowly fades. Rather clean aroma and taste. Some malt, corn, grain and some hopes come through. Has a slight sweetness to it. Some bitterness in the end. A good thirst quencher and would be nice to have on a hot day. Not bad. Is pretty good as it warms up too.

Aroma of cereal and a touch of caramel malt. Clear, light amber color with minimal, white head. Medium sweetness over no bitterness. Light bodies, but on the higher end for a light beer. Good carbonation with a crisp, clean finish. Pretty good on the light beer chart, goes great with chicken wings!

Pours light amber with white head. Aroma of caramel malts and some sweet fruits. Very bland flavor with just a hint of malts. Light body with average carbonation.

This light beer poured to a crystal amber color with slight carbonation and a short lived head. On nose, it’s a pretty straight forward faint straw aroma that is not complex. This beer has a light body with an almost water like mouthfeel. I did pick up a faint sweetness with a slight hop for a balanced crisp flavor. True to style but not my favorite.

The aroma is unimpressive with mostly water, light grassy hops, honey, and adjunct malt. The appearance is good with a rich gold color and an appropriate head. The flavor is like the aroma with a metallic finish. The palate is smooth for the style. Overall this is not quite right but pretty much to style.

So Shiner made a light beer. Well, it’s better than AB’s, but that’s not saying much. It’s light and refreshing, but there’s nothing special here.
