Shiner Blonde

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

Serve in Flute, Footed Pilsner

12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a light golden color with a 1/2 finger thick white head. Hardly any lacing. Aroma is a sweet, buttery grain. Flavor is sweet malt, lemon, and lightly spiced hops. Light body. Has a slight citrus finish. I guess I was hoping for more of a European type Pils. Oh well, it’s still worth a try.

Good Pilsner flavor, clean finish, a little on the filling side for a Pilsner. overall it is a pretty good Pilsner.

Pretty average, watery, lame pils. My wife likes it because it is easy to drink and has a speck of malt flavor. No hjops to speak of.

Pours gold with a generous white head. Smells of some citrus and hints of grapes and apples. Tastes watery and completely lacking in malt character. Some peppery hints as the beer warms.

A very plain beer... Slight fruit in the nose, lemon. Flavor is of pale malt, with some hops, and again a slight taste of fruit. 12 oz. bottle.

Pale golden coloured body with a nice white head that dies quickly. Aroma of pale malt, some light low a.a. hops and a very mild coriander seed freshness. Light-bodied; Fresh pale taste of malt with the effervescent feeling of the bubbles coming strong. Slight cardboard and light hop flavour with some mild sweetness following soon behind. Aftertaste shows more of the same - no bitterness at all to speak of. Overall, not bad - a bit too mild for me, but probably better than Shiner Bock! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle in the Sheraton Bar in Oklahoma City, OK on 16-November-2005.

UPDATED: MAR 1, 2008 Clear golden pilsner with a small white dissipating head. Malty citrus nose. Medium body with sweet malty taste.

Dull. I think every time I bought this I regretted it. It does have a semi-sweet taste, but it always tastes flat.
