#254 Spoetzl Brewing - Shiner Bock

Spoetzl Brewing is the oldest independent brewery in Texas, brewing since 1909. The company is celebrating there heritage with some limited release beer the last few years. The Shiner line of beer is very popular in Texas.

The aroma is chalky, common aroma for lagers, with a hint of malt. The color is a light brown, and clear, similar to the appearance of the glass bottle. The head pours medium but does not last long.

The taste is dry with not sign of sweetness. There is some caramel flavor and a light toast taste from the malt. There is some bitterness but not hop flavor. The mouthfeel is thin, and well carbonated. The finish is dry with a chalky taste.

This is not a great beer, but it is a drinkable beer. There just is not much flavor to this beer.
