’Tis the Season for Cheer.
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!

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.

Dark copper, not much head, medium body. Sweetish aroma, sweet peach taste up front with a discordant medium bitter finish. A failed attempt, the fruity notes were not great and the clash of flavors disappointing.

12oz bottle from Wegmans, Buffalo, NY. A clear reddish copper pour with a tight cream head; peachy aroma; sweet peach taste, with perhaps a hint of pecan; and then nothing much to finish. I like peach beers, so I’m OK with this, but I can see why others might dislike it.

Dunkelweizen? Hmmmm....mostly sweet tree fruit, pecans barely noticeable. Decent head, light weight body and mouthfeel. Nothing memorable here, trying to place peaches in the realm of winter seasonal flavors, doesn’t work...

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a glass. Aroma is nice peach, medium body, low carbonation, and good small-bubble lacing. Taste is peach, pecan, and some bananas. The flavors compete a little for me, but still pretty good.

Bottle. Aroma has an interesting combo of peach and caramel. Taste is fruity, malty, light spice. Different than your usual holiday beer, a welcomed change of pace.
