When you get drunk enough, Shiner is your beer. This beer has a quality where it seems to taste better the more you drink of it. The initial mouth flavor and feel is awful, almost like there is bugspray in the beer - then again, maybe there is. Avoid this stuff.

Mass produced, classic Bock flavor. Brown pour with a hint toward red. Thin head quickly disappears. Nice smooth mouth feel and mild aftertaste. One of the most popular bar and restaurant beers available in the Houston, TX area.

Bottle - Pours a dark amber. Almost no head at all. Slight sweetness. No mouthfeel. Not a bad beer, in fact its very drinkable, but overall very dissappointing. People had talked this beer up to me, but its pretty plain and ordinary. Just nothing to talk about.

Dark amber brown pour with quickly receding finger of head. Mild malty aroma with malt, caramel, slight spice and nuttiness - nothing distinctive though. Fiizzy/sudsy on the tongue, but mostly smooth/silky going down. It’s a beer and it’s there.

Pours a rich amber hue with thin, off-white head. Quite smooth and very drinkable with little carbonation. Flavor has hints of caramel and malts. I was not impressed with this very basic bock.

(bottle): Pours a brown-red body, clearish. Nearly no head, off-white. Nutty, fruity?, grainy? aroma; fizzy. Nutty watery ltaste. Plainish.
