Kind of an orangish amber pour. Was expecting pee, but no, it’s a nice amber pour with some fizzy white head. A grainy, stingy aroma. Flavor is malty, a bit of caramel, and stale corn. It’s easy to crush, thats for sure, but the stale corn gets a bit sour. Better saying one kind of pee is better than another kind of pee is missing the point: it’s still pee.

Part of the Shiner Family Reunion 6 pack: Poured a suprisingly deep amber colour with a full white head. I was expected it to be golden. Taste is pretty malty for the most part. Noticeable grain, with a little bit of caramel undertones. Aroma i couldn’t get beyond- corn, some stale hops and a tiny bit of bread.

Pours sort of a honey pale golden color with a medium to large sized creay off white head that turns soapy. Initially this beer looks really nice. Nose is stale sour bread, with a faint hint of malt... very weak.Taste is metal, faint caramel, (just noticed the munich malt... explains the color and taste) and even a bit of maple syrup hmmm did npt expect that. Mouthfeel is acidic, highly carbonated and the finish is short.

Reviewed 3/5/2009 (bottle): Pours a small whitish colored head, very quickly diminishing. Light amber colored body, fizzy, very clear. Somewhat nutty, very malty, pilsenery aroma. Light aroma, typical aroma of a light lager, not very appealing. Nutty taste, nutty carbonated aftertaste. Light mouthfeel, somewhat creamy body. Pretty clean aftertaste. Has that acidic taste, I find often in lagers. Might be more refreshing after a long hot activity.

The look is clear copper colored. The smell is rice, corn, malts, and some florals. The taste is about the same as the smell. Sort of plain and boring. Better than most light beers.

Light amber in color with a small white head. Aroma is of grain and a light skunk. Taste is of grain, corn and a little malt. Better than the "big 3" light offerings.

Ugh...the only worse than a lager is a pale lager. Low calories...but low flavor and aroma.

Most shiner products are good, and this one is no exception. A light beer that has substance to it, a good taste and a good finish.
