Shiner Bock

Bottle picked up in DFW. Kinda funny that my colleagues (and even the bartender at an excellent drinking establishment that I visited) use this as benchmark for a "dark beer".
Poured a clear, translucent burnt sienna with a short-lived cap of whitish head. Nose was of sweet chalky caramel and few other distinguishing characteristics. Respectable in the flavor department, sporting sweet caramel, faint floral hops, and a hint of darker fruit. Not at all memorable on the palate, but it certainly wasn’t bad. Decent and cheap.

I find Shiner to be a very flavorful beer beer for the price (also very attainable) I enjoy the heavy carbonation as well as its sweet palate

When I first moved up from Keystone/Bud to better beers, this one was impressive. But, it’s really not that great in comparison to some fo the micros I’ve come to love. Pass on it.

On tap-Arena’s-Rehoboth Beach DE-Poured a ruby amber color w/almost no head. Roasted malt aroma. Smooth, crisp, clean, roasted malt flavor. Not a lot of hops to it. Somewhat sweet. Not a terribly complex brew, but very enjoyable-definatly a good sesson beer. Reminds me somewhat of a Yuengling, but not quite as good. I would call this an amber, not a dark lager.

A deep amber color. A malt and Mexican beer like aroma. Tastes a little sweet but nice malt complexity. Pretty smooth, but finishes with the distictive Shiner aftertaste that is just a bit off.

One bottle I got from when I visited my daughter at WVU. Clear brown color with a thin off-white head. Sweet malty aroma with some light corn. Thin flavor with some hints of darker malt, and a corn aftertaste.

No hop aroma, some fruity esters, deep amber color. No head. but highly carbonated. Crisp and slightly sweet and low roasted malts. Lean mouthfeel. More flavor than a regular lager

very attainable beer.(at least in the south?) little or no head, sometimes seems overly carbonated. but very enjoyable.
