Shiner Light

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

12oz bottle into a pint glass. It is what it is - a light beer made by Shiner that is easy to drink, not terrible, but nothing special.

Ice cold went down smooth, some grain, some corn, some water, and surprisingly some flavor for a light beer.

Bottle from package store when I was riding thru Nashville. Poured a straw color with an average frothy white head that diminished slowly and produced fair lacing. Light sweet malt and grainy aroma. Light body with with a thin texture and lively carbonation. Light sweet smooth flavor with a light sweet finish of short duration. Cold wet alcohol with a little character.

Pours gold with a 2-3 finger chunky white head that has poor retention. Aroma is lots of corn, sweet malt, tin and toasty malt. Flavor is sweet malt, a little grain, corn and some cardboard. Palate is thin, dry and fizzy. Really no better than most of the macro pale lagers, not sure why it scores so much higher...

Light fizzy yellow-orange with a long off white foam. Aroma is corn, metal, very thin. Taste is watery, slightly metallic, corn cereal.

12 oz bottle. Pours a nice gold with tall whitish head. The aroma is fresh hay and honey with a slight salty tinge. The flavor is husky malt with a definite watered-down quality. There is a bit of lemon peel and hay. The finish starts to get pretty dry after a few sips. Not dry in a refined way, more dry in a dusty, parched way. A step up from macro, but still lacking. At least it is attractive.

Not a good beer. It smelled like something dead and it tasted like a Keystone light.

(Bottle) Pours a clear golden amber body with a small white head. Aroma of grain, light lemon, and hay. Flavor of grain and grassy hops with a moderately dry finish.
