Shiner Spezial Leicht

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

From a bottle poured a cleag golden color with a litlle bit of head. Very watery flavor with not much going on.

12oz bottle acquired in trade with lb4lb (thanks!). Poured a very, very light straw color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of grains and corny. Tastes of the same. Thin and watery body.

bottle, lightest yellow, no real flavor to speak of, Shiner can be hit or miss, on the guadalupe this would be acceptable, otherwise not so good

Wow, this is the most colorless beer I have ever seen. There is almost no color, this could be sparkling water almost. Nose is faint grainy aroma. The flavor is almost as elusive as the color. There is a mild graininess and perhaps a touch of lemon peel, but honestly this couuld be mineral water. I am kinda tripped out by this beer.

Almost no aroma, maybe a tiny hint of malt. Color is about as white of a yellow as possible.Very little of anything in the flavor, almost like carbonated water. Not unpleasant but not any presence. I’d use this beer much as I would a tonic water, mix it was something.

Pours like cheap sparkling wine white, thin sudsy head with a champagne colored body. Has about as much flavor as tonic water, completely non-offensive. It gets a 2 because 1’s are reserved for foul tastes. Light sparkly palate, easy to gulp down. POINTLESS!

This is the clearest palest beer I have seen. Yikes! Smell is sweet and doughy and not very inticing. Flavor is light and sweet dough with such a high carbonation it almost seems tart. The mouthfeel is so bubbly - it is hard to drink. Actually has some flavor - but just a preferred style of mine but I can see that this is drinkable.

Extremely pale yellow, and very clear. Fizzy, extremely short lived head. Smell is thin pale lager like, faintly corn-y malt. Taste is kind of corn like, with a strange unpleasant twang to it. Not particularly clean and with a metallic note to it. Prickly carbonation. Very thin and watery flavorwise with a hint of funky corn and metal. Not great, but still drinkable.
