Shiner Bock

Pours a honey brown with hues of red. Aroma is sweet, dark corn syrup and a little nutty. Taste is also brown and sweet with some pencil shaving hops. This is a poor beer I’d like to pour out.

this is an okay beer. served pretty cold so it didn’t taste like much, but it doesn’t taste like much when it’s warmed up either. Smell of malt and caramel, flavor to match. A bit watery for me. I have a sentimental attachment but really not that great of a beer.

This is an amber beer that has a nice malty/caramel character to it. It was really smooth and very pleasing to the palate.

Amber, malty, caramel, grainy, smooth, with a slight hoppy finish. Simple refreshing beer.

First off, this isn’t a true bock. I don’t know if it’s a requirement to be from Texas to like this beer, but I just can’t see why everybody gets so into it. Average aroma. Decent pour, not very much head, not very much lace. Taste is malty, a little bit sweet, but is killed by being too watery. Very light bodied. Overall not a terrible beer, but in the battle of fake bocks, Michaelob’s Amber Bock is actually more enjoyable. I have no desire to ever try this again.

12oz bottle from Publix Supermarkets (Tampa). Pours a dark golden amber with a thin white head that dissipates quickly and barely laces the glass. Aroma is barley, malt, maple syrup. Flavor is malty, slight sweetness, smooth, and finishes evenly. Medium-bodied. A reasonably well-done bock-style beer.

I would like to rate this beer higher, but there really isn’t anything special to say about it. Head was gone by the time it got to my table. No trace. Color had alot going for it. Light bodied, no real aroma to speak of. Overall, I liked it, but it just isn’t anything special. It is a very likable beer, ad\nd very easy to drink. Not a very complex brew by any means, but not everything in life has to be.

pours amber with tiny off white head that disappears almost immediately. aroma is bland malt, as is the flavor. pretty dull, fizzy. bleh.
