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 smoothness that makes the subtle peach and pecan flavors all the more satisfying. May your days be merry and bright and your Shiner be cold.
PROSIT!

Bottled. Pours a reddish brown. Fruity and spicy, maybe too heavy on the fruits. not super duper well balanced. Watery finish.
In a related note, sometimes I get a kick out of the rate beer glass recommendations but if you are drinking this or any kind of Shiner out of a flute be ready to get into a fight. more of a fruity christmas ale than a lambic or kriek or anything like that.

Bottle. A clear, light brown in color. Had a small maybe one finger head. Aroma and taste was a weird kind of fruity flavour and smell. Really didn't get any pecans.

Brown with a frothy, off-white head. Mild toffee, bubblegum and peach aroma. Taste is mildly candy sweet, both dank and peachy at the end. Medium-bodied, mild carbonation. Interesting. Exceeded my low expectations.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice two to three centimetre tall off-white head that fades slowly. Aroma of very fragrant peach and nut scents with a lot of caramelised sugars, toffee and grain here, but the peaches are striking and very fresh smelling - suprisingly nice in the nose! Light to Medium-bodied; Great hit of peaches and pecans right away with a mellow dose of malts, graininess and some earthy qualities a few seconds later, but the peaches and nuts stand out in a great way and provide a lot of complexity here. Aftertaste shows the caramel, nuts, earth and grainy flavours with the light pear and peach fruitiness near the tail end, but a lot of complexity throughout and a hint of subdued spices at the end on top of the malts. Overall, a very nice and surprisingly good holiday-ish beer that has some southern charm while being easy-drinking, perhaps a nice option in the [relatively] warm Southern/Texas winters? Very nice to sample and well worth trying at least one of in comparison to some of the more 'typical' holiday beers, this is a welcome variance! I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased from Harris Teeter in Arlington (Columbia Pike), Virginia on 03-April-2022 for US$3,99 for a six pack, sampled at my house here in Washington on 21-April-2022.

Aroma of roses, sweet fruit, sugary malt. Taste has sweet malt, some oak. Palate has peach, some malt, sweet apple fruit. Good.

Pretty foul. Some light cinnamon but tastes a little rotten. Some light orange peel. Murky brown pour with ok head. Tangy cloying finish. Not something you want to drink a lot of. #15 in the Brew Shop Advent calendar and the first real dud.
Annie eyes of judgement for not hating a peachy holiday dunkelweizen. Super peachy and crisp
