Shiner Bock

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

Great beer, if you like a amber lager, this is it, slightly hoppy but so nicely balanced iwth the carmel, honey and flavor of a "bock". Great for a few beers, then wears a bit thin, but hey what doesn’t...P.S. the old original bock, was a real bock, even better than this. long gone

Great beer, great for any season. A light easy to drink bock. very mild taste, nice color and easy smooth finish. Also great for cooking

Had this while visiting Dallas. I don’t remember much about it, so its definitely a "no go" for me.

Easily my favorite beer. Pours a dark amber color into a glass with a medium, quick dissolving head. Refreshing and light tasting yet robust with no hops. Finishes clean and smooth.

I guess if you’re grading on the curve, this isn’t a terrible beer. But it isn’t a very good one, either. Poured from the bottle a tea-like brown, with an OK head. Overall impression of aroma and taste was of an average, if a bit stronger, Joe Six-Pack beer -- nothing really to either love or hate. Tasted bland and became flat very quickly. Not one we’d buy again.

This beer is good. The only problem with this is the bitterness issue. I think that if honey was added before fermentation that this would help increase the alcohol content as well as the taste. The price is decent for what your getting. My problem with this beer is that theres nothing quite spectacular about it. It never quite extinguishes itself from the pack. My beer needs to be exceptional in at least one area and this doesn’t quite meet this need. The head on this beer was just above acceptable good color decent stay i was happy for it to leave to be honest i don’t enjoy drinking under it. The aroma was one of beer. Then again thats what this i The taste was good a little hoppy which was enjoyable after the 2nd one. It went down very smooth and was quite smooth and woody.

When in Austin... drink a real Texas beer! Shiner Bock gives bargoers a decent alternative to the macro brews.

Bottle. Poured a clear amber color with a thin off-white head that diminished rapidly. Very light aroma of caramel malt. Flavor consist mainly of light caramel notes with a biscuity finish and a hint of yeast. Not much going on, but it is easy to drink and is something I would choose over Bud/Coors.
