Shiner Hefeweizen

Brewed by Spoetzl Brewery (Gambrinus Company)
Style: Wheat Ale
Shiner, Texas USA

Serve in Shaker, Weizen

12 oz bottle. Hazy yellow gold with a white head. Nose is lemony wheat, but with an odd "soapy" smell (best I can describe it). Lightly spiced, a bit of clove, lemony with a touch of grass. Eh. Palatable.

Below average for the style. Looked good in the glass but that was about it. Weak and watery with no banana,dough or much of anything else except wheat,straw and a bit of citrus.

Bottle. Cloudy yellow color with nice head. Taste leans towards citrusy. Very smooth and drinkable. I really liked this one.

A slightly cloudy pour with a citrus aroma. The flavor was a smooth yeasty-banana flavor. A good summertime beer.

12oz. Bottle: Aroma not very sweet or bitter. Smells of wheat, lemon, citrus, yeast, and malts. Poured golden in color with a medium white head that lasted throughout. Hazy but clear. Very sparkling. Flavor is neither sweet nor bitter. Tastes like a Hefe. Flavors of wheat, lemon, clove, and malts. Medium body. Oily texture. Fizzy carbonation. Short, dull finish. Overall, a lower-end drinkable Hefe.

Hazy light golden color, white head, wheat and citrus aroma, very tenuous mouthfeel, nothing special.

Cloudy yellow color with nice white head. Light citrus and some hops show through...yeast and wheat as well. Taste much the same with a nice hop finish.

Pours a hazy light straw/golden color with a white head. Citrus, hops and yeast dominate aroma with wheat and malts taking the backseat. Light bodied. Wheat and malts balance nicely with hops, but seems muted all around. Lemony finish.
