this is an okay beer. served pretty cold so it didn’t taste like much, but it doesn’t taste like much when it’s warmed up either. Smell of malt and caramel, flavor to match. A bit watery for me. I have a sentimental attachment but really not that great of a beer.

Oct 11, 2008 The classic "high-end" beer of many midwest bars. It’s okay. Pours nut brown, small white head. Flavor is malt with no hops. Kind of light. It’s easy to drink but nothing much to it.

Oct 9, 2008 This is a bock? Oh yeah, it’s got a ram on the label. Lots of bready malts on the nose, more of the same in flavor. Definitely drinkable, just not very exciting. Not "distinctive [and] full-flavored" like it’s advertised.

Oct 8, 2008 Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a 2 finger white head that receded faster than the balance of my mutual fund portfolio. Zero lacing. Nose is mainly sweet caramel malt. Taste is caramel and wheat bread with a hint of hops. Light mouth feel. Meh, it’s not horrible and I’d probably drink it again if offered at a party.

Oct 6, 2008 Bottle at Vickery’s (Charleston). Served a medium brown, off-white head in a chilled mug !!! WHAT!!! I waited several minutes until the chill wore off to rate properly. Aroma is a touch of caramel, some malt. Flavor is pretty much the same thing, caramel and malt.

Oct 5, 2008 My first shiner was a decent one. Nothing jumped out at me with this dark lager, except that it wouldn’t bother me to keep drinking it, which should count for something! It was very unremarkable, but very drinkable. I’d never say no if someone offered me one, but I’d probably opt for something with just a bit for character if I had some other good choices.
