’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 from Total Wine in Roseville, CA. Pours ruddy amber with a foamy beige head. Unusual nutty peach aroma. Sort of like somebody baked a cake? Med + body/frothy carb. The flavor is passing strange. There’s a lot of bitter nut oil, and there’s a lot of peach. I have never tasted anything like this. These guys are insane. The finish is like sucking walnuts - ok like sucking pecans. Pretty darn astringent. These guys are insane. I’m not sure I like the flavor - but I’m rating it like I do. These guys have driven me insane.

Bottle. Individually, the nose and the appearance would be great. Together, they seem like they might not match so well. The nose is full of sweet peaches - and that’s about it. They cover up anything else that may (or may not) be going on. The beer has a reddish brown body, that, while very pretty, has me a little concerned about how the malt presence that I would associate with that color will go with the peaches. Putting aside these concerns, I take a sip and I’m not quite sure what to make of it. The peaches go pretty nice with the malt and an almost cherry like presence, but there is a bit of a sharp bite to something... not really metal, maybe medicinal and slightly astringent. Not awful, but it throws the whole thing into a bit of a tailspin towards a sweet, peachy finish.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium brown color with a medium sized dark tan head. The aroma was light peach, nut and caramel. The flavor was tart peaches, sweet malts, toasted caramel and pecan. The finish was long, sweet toasted caramel and fruit. Fairly full bodied.

Pours out a mahogany topped with a small off-white head. Aroma of fruit peach to be more on the nose. Taste was more of the peach and a little wheat. Not really doing it for me.

Bottle. Pours a clear malt with a small frothy light tan head. The aroma is a sweet fruit apricot and light malt. Decent spotty lacing on the glass. The taste is dried fruit malt with peach and a nice clean finish. Easy to drink a good fruit beer from shiner.

Pour is a dark brown with a average tan head. Aroma is full of pecan nuttyness with some sweet candi sugar. Flavor has more of the peach to it that anything else. As it goes down it leaves a lasting peach on the tounge. My mom, who doesnt drink beer would probably like this. An odd beer and something your not going to drink more that one of but sometimes odd is good.
