Sep 6, 2009 The first question for a smoked beer is "is it smokey?" - if the answer is yes, then you’ve got yourself a pretty good smoked beer. This one is smokey, so, y’know, nice work. Actually tastes better than it smells, with the smoke flavor seeming more real than the smoke aroma. All in all, not a bad effort from Shiner. Sampled at lithy’s Septemberfest.

Sep 5, 2009 Pours a clear gold with off white head. Aroma of bread, fruit, slight smoke. Similar taste, definitely some smoked meat going on. Not as smoky as I would have liked, but pleasant nonetheless.

Sep 5, 2009 Sampled at Lithy’s Septemberfest Tasting. Clear pale gold with ring of white head. Nose is a little light ham, with a little wet dog. Flavor is like drinking a sweet budwieser with some smokiness. Not bad, but I do have a penchant for smoke.

Sep 4, 2009 yellow copper body with white oily head. High carbonation. Not noticing much smokiness from this beer, a little "clothes smells the night after a smokey bar" smell, mainly corn on the noise. Smoke is definitely there in the mouth, along with some "meaty" associations. Pleasant, but a bit one sided, lacking any malt to support it. Aftertaste is a bit like saltines and the smell of a campfire. Enjoyable.

Sep 1, 2009 Gold pour. off white head. Aroma has a nice dose of smoky bacon, bready and some light fruit notes. Flavor tastes kind of like a shitty beer with some liquid smoke...hmmmm...well maybe I am onto something?

Sep 1, 2009 pours a golden yellow with a bright white head. Taste is pilsner like, but there is a strong liquid smoke like aftertaste that I found displeasing. I tried the beer for the novelty, and it is not a bad beer, it is just not something I really enjoyed. It might have been better had I been eating a hamburger or some kind of BBQ, as the taste reminded me of drinking budweiser while eating BBQ.

Aug 30, 2009 Clear Golden. Fast head. Aroma: Mesquite smoke, Pale Lager backing. Flavor: Same. Dry finish. Good job but lacks body when compared to the finest Rauchbiers of Germany.
