Since 1909, every drop of Shiner is brewed in Shiner. It's handcrafted in the same brewery where it was first made back in 1913, and it is a gently hopped medium brown brew that is the pride of Shiner, TX (pop. 2070). This bock beer combines old world Bavarian heritage with American handcraft brewing for a smooth, delightfully drinkable dark beer. "Prosit!" It has 13 IBUs and is 4.4% ABV.
Overall average rating: 7.3/10
It pours a clear amber with a touch of copper. "In the very recesses of the smell" (-Chris) we get citrus hop and barley, as well as a light caramelly malt/molasses scent. The taste holds flavors of sweet molasses and a smooth, rich, caramelly maltiness. It's initially bitey with hits on the front and side tongue, but it is a well-balanced hop.
Shawn- This is reall well-balanced, and although it doesn't have much nose, I would drink this again. The brewery has perfected the flavors of this beer over the past 100 years, 7.5/10.
Angela- This is a good late fall/winter beer. It's sweet, but not in the normal "sweet" sense, 7.5/10.
Chris- This is a good fireplace beer. It's not a bad bock; it would be enjoyed on a cool autumn night. I do think the aroma and taste could be more pronounced, 7/10.
