Shiner Bock

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

Bock? Ha! Poured a dark yet thin amber color with a medium whtie head. Notes of roasty sweet malts and very mild hops. If you are stuck in Texas (hopefully Austin) this is one of the few ok choices. Still pretty boring.

First of all they should not call a crappy lager a bock. I actually prefer a bud or Miller light over this crap.

Ok, the beer from the little Texas town. It is called a Bock, but it is a dark lager, but like their other beers, it is designed to please a majority. Has off-white head with minimal retention. Nice Dark amber color and malty flavor with slight roast tones. Living in Texas I get this beer pretty fresh. I buy this occasionally. I like it.

Has a decent light malt taste and hint of hops. Not much here. Better than light beers, but if this is the best beer in a bar, I’d prefer to leave than drink the unbock, shiner bock.

Red gold in color, did not pour with much head, but what there was was a nice white. It smells a little gassy, but I’ve had it in my fridge a while. Ew. This beer tastes like a bud light or the like.

Amber color with a small head. Tangy malt aroma with an all malt taste and some hints of coloa. Crisp finish. This is the Pyramid Hefe of Texas as far as popularity goes. It is the token "micro."

Overall, pretty light for a Bock. Not bad for a beer when you have very limited options. Definately will pick up again.

Pours amber/red color. Doesnt seem like a bock, much too watery. tastes and smells of sweet malt with hardly and hops
