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!

Purchased a 6-pack of these bottles, I think in Ohio somewhere - on a trip to St. Louis. was expecting lots of spices for a holiday beer, but no. Peaches and pecans. Interesting. Pours a clean copper colour with dark amber highlights. The head is fizzy, not lasting too long. Beige, and leaving a few bubbles around the neck. Lots of peaches in the nose over mild nuttiness. The nut notes do come out more in the taste, calming the fruity sweetness. Decent hops help out in the finish as well with some light bitterness, and a nice dry finish. Again, very interesting, and nicely brewed all around. Was not sure I could have a few of these one night, and I could. Thankful for those well-blended hops.

Bottle. Deep amber body. Short white head, diminishing. Aroma of sweet peaches, toasted grain, nuts, caramel. Sweet to start. Sweet to finish. Thin to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. A sweet, fruity drink, not cloying, but close in the finish.

Bottle from a Giant supermarket. Deep copper in colour, with a thin, off-white, head. Very sweet, with caramel, ripe fruits, spicing and bready malts, with a lightly bitter finish. So so.

Should've read the description earlier; I had no clue I was getting into a peach beer. General dunkelweizen notes are there--caramel, toffee, bread, and a little clove--but couple these flavors with the juicy peach backbone and the pint grows cloying as it warms, without any hop balance to offset the sweetness. Oily pecan adds a slight nutty undertone, but otherwise a sweet peach brew. Not for me..

Peach and almond nose, clove accents. Crystal clear garnet brown, thin tan head. Peach and pecan, vague spice, maybe clove. Medium body, harsh mouthfeel. Neat idea, I dig it.

12 oz bottle into a La Chouffe stemmed tulip at my daughters in California on 3rd Jan 2017. lovely looking beer, red bodied, clear and clean, on top a tanned head (which sadly fell away to a wisp and collar very quickly). If a it had been a blind tasting I would have said pumpkin and rye were used in the brew and even though I knew there were peaches and pecans within I couldn't detect them. I had to 'google' “Kräusening”, so now I know! I actually liked it's aroma, flavour and sweetness. I found it both interesting and different compared to many 'holiday beers'.

I have seen this around but never tried it before. Purchased in a flight at a local emporium. It delivers a nice brown with a reddish tint and a slender light colored foam. No heavy scent but it is a bit fruity. With a taste I get some cranberry (of the season?) and a bit of maltiness. A session beer so it has no big mouth feel but does end with a medium bitterness.

Bottle pour into shaker pint glass from Downtown Discount Beverage. Aroma is strong peaches, with brown sugar, nuts, caramel. Appearance is clear red with beautiful sparkle, 1/2 finger width off-white head with poor retention and trace lacing. Taste is strong sweet peaches with roasted, buttery nuts. Palate is medium bodied with creamy texture, lively carbonation and sweet fruity finish. Overall, a different holiday beer than the usual nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice. Evokes the holidays in a different way. Enjoyable.
