BMan1113VR (2758), Los Angeles (and Dallas), Texas, USA Feb 10, 2008 Grassy hops with some sort of cereal malts. Pour yields a fizzy, off-white head that goes away completely in about 20 seconds. Body is a nice dark amber or copper. Tasted is decent, but very very very bland. Texture is dry and it is overcarbonated. chadcs (76), Westminster, South Carolina, USA Feb 10, 2008 Poured a Dark amber, wasn’t over impressed with this one since i’m a fan of Darks. Overall wasn’t anything to "bring" me back to this one. rayg1 (433), Ft. Mill, South Carolina, USA Feb 9, 2008 Found this today and realized I hadn’t drank or rated it yet. Here goes. Pours out brown but you can see right through it. Absolutley no head, not a very good looking beer. Aroma is weak sweetness and that is about it. Taste is again some sweet malt with a kind of slightly funky teriaki thing going on. I have to say this is a pretty big dissapointment. I have friends who love this stuff. (Sigh) I guess they really don’t know what good craft beer is.......yet. milljam (562), Norman, Oklahoma, USA Feb 3, 2008 When all you’ve oit is Shiner...well you might as well as pack it in and drink moonshine. Seriously thought, its not that bad, but its not that good. Very watery, not too much in the way of flavor, except for some malt, and with the low ABV, its not even good for getting drunk. asedzie (453), San Francisco, California, USA Jan 29, 2008 Bottle. Pours clear deep amber with thin white head. Pleasant caramel malt aroma. Flavor is lightly grainy, lightly sweet-syrupy, but has a distracting trace of corn-like adjunct. Finish has a very faint hint of bitter flavor. Palate lively, but a bit thin. rodneykm (109), Westminster, South Carolina, USA Jan 27, 2008 It was ok - dark with a "not quite as rich as advertised" flavor. Not gonna buy this guy again but I’m sure someone out there will get some value out of it. spikester (602), Salem, Oregon, USA Jan 26, 2008 A nice dark amber pour from a 12 ounce bottle. A nice sized dirty white head with modest lacings. Closer to a macro than a micro. Nice malting with minimal hop notes. Reminds me of an A-B offering called Andecker (sp?) from the early 70’s. It was a tasty somewhat sweet beer that went away rather quickly. Didn’t taste like Bud. Wouldn’t seek this out but would agree to drinking one if offered. Certainly not a bad product. Worth a try. celebravar (10), USA Jan 21, 2008 i dont know what to say. i know this beer is nothing special. its not terrible though either. it does have some flavor, although definitely not a true bock. its a pretty good beer to buy if you plan on drinking a fair amount. Last night i had three celebrator doppelbock, which is one of my favorites. feeling a bit drunk the flavor started to become a little much to me. so i grabbed a shiner and it went down very smoothly. well all six of them did actually.
