Serving Type: BottleABV: 4.4 percent
Appearance: Shiner Bock is a dark shade of vivid brown, but is still light enough to see objects through it. The head is very white, but doesn't appear to be active. It starts as a very thin layer and quickly disappears. The beer's body doesn't appear to have a lot of carbonation either. I got the feeling just by taking this beer in with the eye that it was watered-down.
Smell: The aroma of Shiner Bock isn't that pungent. Some malts are clear to the nose as well as some dark fruits. I couldn't really figure out which dark fruits though.
Taste: The impression I got just from looking at this beer was proved true once I got to taste it. Aside from the weak caramel and dark fruit tones, this beer didn't lack too much punch. It tasted and even felt watered down.
Overall Rating:
I was mostly disappointed with this one. Spoetzl Brewery had high expectations given that I sampled and loved its Holiday Cheer around Christmas time. I've also hear amazing things about Shiner Bock, but I wasn't too thrilled as some are.
