Shiner Spezial Leicht

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

Pours a very light gold color. Thin head and quite watery looking. I’m detecting an aroma of pizza dough and italian herbs. Flavor is slightly peppery and very bubbly on the palate. Overall it’s a bit more complex in aroma and flavor than I would have thought just by looking at it. It may make a great food pairing with pizza or italian food.

12oz twist-off. Clear thin yellow color. Aroma of pils malt. Flavor is sharp, spicy saaz. Malted flavors of canned corn. Very clean refreshing. Light, great for the backyard.

I’ve never seen anything as pale as peral light until now. Pours watery pale yellow. With a 1 inch head that lasts 45 seconds. Aroma of fine malt. Taste is malty, bready, watery, metallic, and bitter. Finish is strong and bready, and a little metallic. What was the idea with this one?

Really didn’t taste much different from any other domestic light beers. Bud light under the Shiner label.

Bottle, Kegs & Barrels in McKinney, TX. Pours a clear light yellow with fizzy white head that dissapeared very quickly. Aroma is actually nice, a light berry smell.....Flavor is not bad, just not much of it.....slight berry and very little malt....Mouthfeel is very watery and high carbonation.....This is a light summer beer to quinch the thirst and not be very heavy, and it taste much better then a miller lite with slight citris notes added....that appears to be what they are going for with this beer, so Im not going to slam it, it was light and refreshing....I would drink this again on a hot day by the pool....and guys, if your woman doesn’t like beer, let her try this.....

I am not one to look for low carb/calorie beer. If I had to though, I would get this. Decent flavor, quick fizzy head, typical generic light beer. Great lawnmower/ drinking game beer as it is quick to go down and really starts to hit the spot after about 6-7. I would recommend this on a hot August day here in Tx.

For some reason I have a special allegiance to Shiner, TX. Great summer beer and hit the spot after sweating in the yard.

Appearance: Pours a brilliantly clear body with only a touch of yellow hue to it and topped with a short-lived, white head. Smell: Surprisingly weak nose with only the merest hints of sweetish ultra-pale malts. Taste: Altogether light pale maltiness with a hint of grain and mild cereal sweetness. Almost no hop character or bitterness. Finishes quick and clean. Mouthfeel: Thin-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Oh, it’s definitely light, er...leicht. Sometimes I just don’t get the light beers - when it’s so far removed from beer and is more akin to water, why not just skip those pesky 99 calories and go for the water? Ah well.
