May 27, 2009 Dark golden with a minuscule white head that falls to a thin ring. Very light aroma - some sweet corn, wheat, and Chex cereal. Light grainy flavor, with more Chex goodness (heavy on rye notes), what I could swear was a bit of roast, and a lightly sour, husky finish. More flavor than I was expecting for a light beer, I must admit. Overly carbonated per the norm. Honestly, when compared with the other Shiner beers, not half bad.

May 14, 2009 Notes: A great beer to have with sushi. Goes down very smooth. Pleasent aroma.
A: Yellow & Gold with a light firm head.
S: Smells of cereal and other grain.
T: A hint of malt, cereal, and grian. For a light beer has a full bodied flavor of a pale lager.
D: Excellent drinkability. Very smooth. Very low bitterness with fine balance.

May 14, 2009 Updated: May 18, 2009Pretty decent for light beer- has a lighty citrus character with a littlte cereal grain. Seems like a light Kolsch. If I was watching my calories, I’d drink this.

May 13, 2009 Pours pale copper with a fast fleeting head and no lacing. A little grainy on the nose. Medium nectar with ample effers. A malty backbone sustains the brew featuring a mild hop twitch to bitter. Big on flavor. More like a light Marzen. It’s actually not bad. I think i like this stuff. For a light beer I am impressed.

May 5, 2009 12 oz. bottle served in shaker- poured transparent light brown with a slight amount of copper, no head at all, light carbonation. Very light aroma of malt and hops. Hits the mouth with low body, malt is there and is pleasent, finish is rather dry. Nice looking- good for the unreal heat down here in Texas during the summers after working all day outdoors, but that’s about it.

May 2, 2009 It’s a light beer, water down, metallic, salty taste, virtually no head at all and crystal clear.

Apr 21, 2009 Appearance: Pours a clear, gold, fairly effervescent body with a foamy, off-white head.
Smell: Slight aroma of grainy malts with a fairly mild whiff of Noble hop character.
Taste: Light maltiness upfront, perhaps a bit grainy, maybe even a touch bready. Faint sweetness. Lightly fruity. Just enough Noble hops and imparted bitterness to provide some balance. The latter half is dominated by a taste of sweet steeped grains until you reach the semi-dry finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium-plus carbonation.
Drinkability: Not so bad, actually! A light beer that isn’t entirely devoid of character and flavor.
