3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Bottle King. Nice golden body with medium head. Nose of malts, fruits and wheat. Taste is also wheat and bread with citrus notes and some spiciness. Quite enjoyed it.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Pours a hazy gold-yellow with a fine-grained, white head. Some spritzy lemon on the nose, but no real ester presence. Flavor is quite nice, actually -- more lemon, malt, and a touch of bitterness on the close. Finishes clean. It ain’t Erdinger, but it ain’t bad.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Shiner Hefeweizen has a thin-to-medium off-white head and a hazy, golden appearance with a good amount of bubbles streaming up. The aroma is faint, but bread is detected and maybe fruit. The taste is an overriding bread flavor, but with some lemon and hop spiciness. Mouthfeel is light to medium, and Shiner Hefeweizen finishes wet and drinkable. Overall, this is a very good beer, and I recommend it.

2.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
A rather average hefeweizen, lacking the typical cloudiness, clove and bananna found in your better known (and better tasting) German hefeweizens.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
A very straightforward wheat beer with dominating citrus and yeasty notes on the aroma and a sour but flat flavor. Not very remarkable, but not offensive, either.
1.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 4/20
Pours fairly well, but things go all to hell right after that. The nose is mainly metallic yeast, with a tiny bit of butter behind it. Tastes yeasty beyond reason, with no follow-up to the flavor other than the seltzer-like finish. Bad, bad, bad. (6/08)
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
The Shiner Hefeweizen has a very wheaty aroma, balanced with yeast. The flavor is mostly balanced, but with little sourness. The palate is unremarkable. I think this beer is ok; very good on aroma, average on other aspects. Definitely a good summer beer.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. Pours hazy gold with a white head. Wheaty aroma with a light sweetness. The flavor is wheaty aroma grainy with a light sweetness. Not bad.
