Shiner Bock

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

A brownish golden pour into a stange (I like using that glass from time to time!) Head was pretty pathetic, very fizzy and gone about as soon as it came. A little bit of malty sweetness, and the slightest bit of faint dark fruit. Very lacking in flavour, which is a real disappointment. A bit of malt graininess, and a little bit of a metallic edge. A little thin, but a reasonable dryness to finish, which is alright. It’s certainly a sessionable drink, but probably not for my taste. I would certainly go elsewhere for a refreshing brew, even to use as "lawnmower beer"

Dark Amber beer with a nice full smell. Taste of malt with a little bit of sweetness. Finishes smoothly with a little bite to it. Definitely one of my favorite "standards".

One of my favorite "go-to" beers when you just want to have a couple and relax without thinking too hard. Sometimes the beer can go down creamy and smooth, and sometimes it has a harsher effect on the pallett. I’m convinced it depends on ones mood and physical state. Recommended fo sure!

tap. amber pour with thin head. light nutty sweet malts. light fruit. light.

Poured amber. Aroma - Malt and caramel. Taste - Roast malt and caramel. A bit watery. Not much going on here.

Bottle at Chiles in Osan, South Korea. Nice to see a different beer in a country that suffers from poor beer. Pours amber/brown with a tan head. Aroma is weak but is slightly sweet. Tastes light and sweet, more malty than hoppy. Easy to drink. Good job!

A very good session beer, and a great gateway beer, but not really as good as I had thought or hoped for. Pours a deep ruby red. No real hops or barley in this one. Some carmel notes, almost a candy like finish. Thin and good.

Bottle. Dark brown with a fizzy white head that didn’t last long. No lacing on the glass. Slight nutty, roasty aroma. Flavor is a little complex, with roasted malt, a touch of sweetness and a little nutty flavor. A little over carbonated, and a bit thin and watery. A refreshing beer with some body to it.
