Shiner Bock

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

This beer looks quite yummy. Clear caramel brown with thin head. Looks can be deceiving. Taste was of wet cardboard, caramel, stale tacos. I would not buy this again.

Clear chestnut in color with minimal head. Bocky caramel aroma with a bit of diacetyl. Taste is same but very faint. Might have had a fighting chance, but too much water was added.

The appearance is dark amber with not much head. It smells like apple juice with a little malt mixed in. The flavor is just as flat as the aroma. It has a kind of iced tea flavor with a hint of apple.

12 oz bottle pours deep brown. Aroma of sweet malt and caramel. Flavor is of lightly roasted malt, sweet malt, and a slight bitterness.

Malty, caramel, slightly nutty nose. Pours from the bottle a transparent amber/brown with an off white cap. Sweet, nutty, grainy flavour profile shows some rye bread, brown sugar and the faintest hop. Quite drinkable, with a watery sweet-ish finish. Standard stuff.

Pour was a clear brown with lighter copper notes. Little if any head, mostly just off-white bubbles spinning atop the beer. The aroma was malt with light hints of spice. Some bitter yeastiness. The flavor was lightly roasted malt and spice, all cut with an unpleasant bitterness. Lots of carbonation and a thin mouthfeel. Just barely a step beyond a BMC product. Meh.

Pours dark brown with a big creamy light tan head. Aroma of malt, toffee, perhaps a tinge of caramel. Flavour was very lacking and muted, but with a slight nutty characteristic to it. A somewhat watery bock with thin flavour.

Pours a clear brown color with a light, thin, head. Aroma is light. Slightly malty, with a hint of yeast. Flavor is pretty good. mostly malt. Little to no hop flavor. Reminds me of a Brown ale, only more carbonated and less flavorful. Pretty decent but nothing amazing.
