Shiner Bock

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

Very un-flattering. Thin and not very flavorful. Mild chocolate and caramel flavors but little hop flavor. Thin sweetness and mild carbonation. Not impressed.

Appearance is great-- rich amber color and angry fizzy head. Cool folksy bottle. The aroma was a little rude. The flavor would seem to lend itself to Mexican food. A little (rice?) sweet and a certain straw taste. Poorly hopped. Not a bad beer, but it’s not going to set the world afire, either. That said, there ain’t a dang thing ’bock’ about this beer.

Brown-orange color pour with little to no head. Aroma is slightly smokey with a sweetness that is striking. The body is thin but better than BMC stuff by far. Nothing offensive in the flavor. Pretty standard stuff. Nothing exciting, nothng offensive.

Decent beer, nothing special. Medium head on a copper liquid. Pleasant malty aroma, flavor is fairly neutral, a bit caramelly. Slight bitterness comes through in the aftertaste.

Tap. Clear dark brown. Aroma was all malt. Dark fruit, caramel, slightly sweet but while those are normally good it wasn’t there in enough quantity to make it rate well. Flavor was malty, light notes of caramel. Liight bodied and clean.

Golden brown with low to moderate carbonation. Pretty much no aroma, perhaps grassy. Tastes like a Bud with more flavor.

Pour a brown color with a decent head. Thin and light for a dark beer. Mild malt flavor with some bitterness. Another O.K. beer from Shiner at a very good price.

Dark brown,but translucent color. Small head, little lacing. Very malty flavor. Strong aftertaste, of wood/charcoal. A middle of the road beer but erring a little on the weak side.
