Shiner Bock

12 oz bottle poured into glass. Pours a darker copper, small offwhite head that dies to a film, laces some. Largely transparent. Aromas are a light caramel darker malt edge, a touch skunky, with light floral. A bit vague overall. Initial is a mellow lighter brew, packing some caramel and darker malts, faint toastiness, slight sweetness, smooth as it goes down. A touch prickly from the carbonation, a bit of mellow toastiness and sweet caramel. Faint bitterness in the finish. Overall, a nicer mas distributed beer. Overall, a bit lacking on the palate and could use a bit more flavor. Not bad though, better than a macro lager.

Finally tried the beer featured in "My New Haircut: Redneck Edition." Was not too impressed. Aroma is muted with caramel, roast, and grain. Flavor is malty with caramel, mild roast, and nuts. Palate is lighter than I’d like. Slightly sub-par overall.

Decent little brew, flavor is a light sweet malty flavor. Not a lot of depth overall but refreshing none the less.

Ruby-colored body with a very thin off-white head. Overall sweet and nutty aroma...brown sugar and malt. Fairly thin palate, smooth all of the way through. Much like the aroma, the flavor is sweet with brown sugar, malt, and caramel. Very easy to drink and pretty tasty.

Pours a disappointing slightly dark amber, with medium off-white head, no lacing. Aroma surprisingly mild of slightly toasted malt, caramel, and slight nutty character. Flavor matches well with an additional slight sweetness and reminds me more of an ok nut brown ale rather than a bock. Drinkable, enjoyable, and refreshing, but lacks character.

Quite light and simple (the Shiner way!) for a bock, which makes it refreshingly easy to drink and pretty dang good.

Pint glass. Pours a dark amber with a relatively thin head. Initially it was served very cold - too cold. Tasted like a basic lager until warmed up and revealed some decent, though very mild, character. As others have mentioned, it is relatively one dimensional but that dimension is pretty good. Basically, it has a sweet malt taste with strong caramel overtones and a tiny bit of bitterness. After it gets warm it has a slightly more bitter aftertaste that balances the malt pretty well. Its easy to find and easy to drink so I’m giving it a decent rating. Certainly not my favorite and definitely not a bock bit still a decent beer.

12oz bottle, appearance is dark amber brown with small white head, aroma of caramel and stale malt, flavor has some caramel but mostly malty. nothing to special.
