Shiner Bock

For some reason, I had decent expectations for this, because certain friends talked it up so much. They are fools, and this is crap. It’s on a level with Original Coors, just barely above Bud Light. "Bock" my ass - there’s no flavor whatsoever. Is this what passes for beer in Texas?

This brew tasted like 12 ounces of copper flavored water with a chaser of chlorine. Not abdolutelyterrible, just weak and unsatisfying.

Draft/Bottle. Like many reviewers this was a favorite of mine years ago, but now my taste has moved on. It’s still a good alternative to the various mainstream offerings at hotel and airport bars.

Tap at the Dallas ariport on New Years Day. I can’t find any good beer in this flippin airport. Drinking this beer causes me to reflect on how FAR my palate has grown in the last 3-4 years of micro-brew-ipa-hop-headed heaven. I used to think this Shiner was good, now it tastes like carbonated fizzle pee. Dang nasty bunkness. I need to get home to So Cal where good beer resides.

I lvoe this beer, Cant get it in Michigan? Any suggestions on how to get it here to me ????? HELP!

This beer, if you can call it that, receives a lot of unnecessary accolades, mostly from the Texan constituency, in which represents the state this beer was made in. Clever marketing and the assumption that this is anything but pure pond swill has captured the hearts and wallets of Texans who are unwilling, or perhaps afraid, to give superior beers a chance at the palate. That said, this grueling potion of adjuncts has absolutely no place in my life and I won’t offer it any dignity since it would be so wrongly deserved. If you drink this regularly, there is a strong possibility that we will not get along very well, and, dare I say it, there is potential for violence between us. Keep your crappy beer in Texas. The rest of the intelligent world doesn’t need to be subjected to this harmful swill. For the record, there is nothing "Bock" about this. There is nothing dark as well. You can achieve a greater level of darkness by pouring Natural Light through the ass-crack of a dirty mule, which, coincidentally, would taste much better than Shiner Bock. The descriptor also neglects to note that you can also serve this in a bedpan or enema bag. It gets a 5 on the overall because there’s some hot, loose gals in Austin. Wake up. This stuff sucks.

Very easy drinking beer without the sissy lightweight feel of most American mainstream beers. As a bock, it has some soul to it. Not radical, edgy, or ground-breaking, but solid.

Watery and somewhat flavorless. Not sure what I expected. I have had this before and enjoyed but this time was horrible.
