3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 ajhicks (8) - Conway, Arkansas, USA - JUN 25, 2012Bottled. Hardly any aroma, but smooth enough and not too complicated. Would be great, cold and refreshing after a hot day. Not anything to write home about, but nothing bad either. A good, average beer.

A beer that offers excellent taste and drinkability, yet is more enjoyable when savored rather then sessioned. Great appearance, weaker aroma.
Full bodied taste without excessive maltiness, clean finish. Mild hoppiness comes through every now and again, but not consistently present in taste.
Very smooth and surprisingly drinkable.

2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 stevoj (915) - Ramstein-Miesenbach, GERMANY - MAY 9, 2013
Disappointed after hearing a lot about this beer. And it’s classified as a Vienna, and not a bock. Pours medium brown with immediate head that fades to nothing. Aroma is extremely light, cola, malt, brown bread. Taste is also light (and mouthfeel watery), tastes like a watered down Newcastle. Not impressed.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20 Cbuk1013 (55) - Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA - MAY 9, 2013
Pours smber/orange. Smell is lightly malty. Some peach and a metallic smell. Flavor is lighter version of smell. It’s watery. Ok on a hot day.
1.4 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20 LiMuBai (85) - - MAY 6, 2013
Thin light head, metallic aroma. Faint hint of hops and a non existent taste. Just because it’s from Texas doesn’t mean it’s good.

This beer has a really yeasty and general malty smell that hits you hard, and the appearance is a clear brown color with only a white ring on top of the liquid. The taste is quite sour and slightly sweet, and the palate combines a light body, thin and slick texture, abrupt finish, and an average carbonation.

Bottle from mixed six pack. Pour has a red brown color with little head. Aroma has malts, light sweetness, and dusty grains. Mouth feel is medium light and the carbonation much lower than there other beers. Flavor has malted sweetness, grains, and a light hit of hops.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 Jow (1375) - New York, USA - APR 15, 2013
Bottle at airport. Aroma and tastes of light caramel, malt, earth, cardboard, and slight skunkyness. Polar opposite of my first Texas brew a few days ago
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20 brystmar (455) - Brooklyn, New York, USA - APR 14, 2013
Not as bad as I remembered. The malts & hops aren't skunky (hooray?), and the aroma is actually kinda nice. An acceptable alternative to the other piss beers available everywhere in Texas, but still quite far from being objectively good. It is pretty filling though, dunno how people can kill an entire 6pk of this stuff.
I'm sure Shiner would taste better with a Vortex neck. They should work on that.
