COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
’Tis the Season for Cheer

Happy Holidays from the "Little Brewery" in Shiner, TX. We hope you enjoy your Shiner Cheer, an Old World Dunkelweizen brewed with Texas peaches and roasted pecans. The malty flavors of this dark wheat ale are enhanced through the use of malted barley and wheat. And Kräusening ensures a smoothnessthat makes the subtle peach and pecan flavors all the more satisfying. May your days be merry and bright and your Shiner be cold.

PROSIT!

WakeandBake (549) - Greenville, Michigan, USA - DEC 26, 2008
Bottle.Pours a amber orange with a thick off white head. Leaves good lacing due to head staying for most of the beer.aroma is very fruity like peaches, pears, apricots, and maybe some honey. Very Nice!Taste is of peaches a hint of vanilla and the roasted peacans very balanced for a fruit beer. Medium body with low carbonation and a dry finish! A very easy drinking beer! Very Nice! Im going to hide one of these away for the 4th of July.

Maybe my nose is not working properly but little recognizable aroma to the beautifully poured beer. Good initial taste but leaves somewhat tart aftertaste.

Rynoplasty (700) - Louisville, Kentucky, USA - DEC 23, 2008
Pours dark brown with a small off white head. Aroma is of peach and lightly of malt. Taste is of pale and roasted malts, and a little bit of wheat, with some peach in there as well, but with a fairly light body. Its ok, but definitely not great.

Anareon (13) - Fairview Heights, Illinois, USA - DEC 23, 2008
Bottle. Pleasant appearance, but has the aroma of fake peaches. The peach flavour is bitter like a peach pit. Not very impressed with this offering from the Spoetzl Brewery.

lordmeat (12) - Aransas Pass, Texas, USA - DEC 21, 2008
Poured from bottle extremely cold. Beautiful amber color and a strong armoa of peaches and caramel. The taste is a little weird, though, and taking a bit to get used to, but the peach and pecan aftertaste is pleasing.

riversideAK (5413) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - DEC 20, 2008
Pours a nice dark brown with reddish hints, a beige fluffy head accompanies. The aroma is of peaches, caramel, and a light hint of pecans. The flavor is strong and peachy, which I liked followed by some caramel, with some sweet pecan that follows through in the finish. Pretty fruity, a touch sweet with a nice toasty aspect too. Medium bodied, very easy to drink, and actually way better than I thought it would be. I will probably buy another one of these here at some point. I like the fact that a winter beer is made that is not an English Strong Ale or ASA.

GeneralGao (3614) - Iowa City, Iowa, USA - DEC 20, 2008
Draft. Poured a clear dark orange-brown color. The head was off white. Smelled of distinct peaches, pancake, subdued caramel, and a bit of brown sugar. Medium bodied and slightly sweet. Tasted of peach, toffee, and cereal grain. Didnt really get much in the way of pecan. A bit too peachy for me, but not a bad beer.

Ernest (5627) - Boulder, Colorado, USA - DEC 18, 2008
Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, light brown, mostly diminishing. Body is clear dark amber. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain/nuts), with notes of artificial peach taffy, cola, and detergent. Flavor is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter, unclean. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Unpleasant artificial-smelling aroma, thin, watery, poor aftertaste. Drain pour.

Sparky (2130) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - DEC 17, 2008
Bottle. Pours a clear dark amber with minimal off white head but spotty lacing. Nose is peaches and caramel malt for the most part. Taste is peach, roasted nuts and caramel with a sweet finish. Medium prickly mouth feel. Not that bad to be honest, and better than I expected it to be.

From a bottle poured a nut brown with a good amount of head. Nice aroma of peaches with a sweet finish.
