I think Shiner missed an opportunity here. They should have called it Shiner "Ever Luvin’" Light. You know, that song, from like, the 70’s or something? Where that guy sings about Shine Your Ever-lovin’ Light on me", but it sounds like "Shiner Ever Luvin’ Light on me"? I think it mentions something about a Midnight Special, too. Yep, that’s what they should’ve done. Missed a great opportunity here, Shiner.

Can. LIght sweet barley malt aroma. Medium amber color with small head. Fairly strong barley malt flavor with a hint of sweetness. Very nice body for a light beer. An excellent light beer - blows BMC lights away.

Clear gold, zero head. Sweet corny aroma. Though watery, it has more body than many other light beers. It actually has an OK clean and lightly malty flavor. Finishes crisp and bland. One of the better light beers I’ve had.

I am partial to a beer brewed in Texas because I live there, but this is a pretty good light pale lager. It beats your big boy watery stuff, but I would much rather have a Shiner Bock for the same price. I guess if I had to chose a light pale lager this one would be up there.

For a light pale lager it’s a hit. Not much in the nose. Kinda’ like somebody squeezed the life out of it. If I had to drink a light, I mean if I was on a deserted island and it washed up on shore.....

For a light beer, very good, has much of the ’shiner’ taste. Doesn’t taste like water or lose its flavor just because its a light beer, perfect for a summer day or yard work! Suprisingly amber with small white/ivory head, aroma is very rich

Bottle. Surprisingly dark body for a light PL. One finger lasting dark head. A surprisingly attractive beer. Nose-like inhaling a nose full of dust from an old book. Taste-light grassy hops, mild XL malt, no adjunct or sweet flavors. Mild caramel and honey. Hands down the best tasting light beer I have ever had.

see through golden caramel with a white head that is gone before i got a good look at it. tree bark and chemicla aroma. taste is dry, with chalk and some hidden caramel malt flavor. really unpleasant feeling on my tongue. i don’t care for this at all.
