Clear Pale Yellow Color, Small White Head That Diminishes to a Thin Ring That Lasts Through Out, Just A Few Spots of Lacing. Highly Carbonated, Kinda Hard To Drink. Faint aroma of soggy wet malt. Some Sweet Grain, Light Malt, Dusty Bitter. Easy Going. Bland And Forgettable as Nothing Stands Out. Thirst Quencher At Best. OK For What it Is. Pass It...

12 ounce bottle into lager glass, no bottle dating. Pours crystal clear bright golden yellow color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of cracker, biscuit, light toast, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; with solid strength. Taste of cracker, biscuit, light toast, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of cracker, biscuit, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Nice robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness after the finish. Medium carbonation and light-medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly bready/sticky mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 4.4%. Overall this is a nice pale lager style. All around good robustness and balance of pale malt and earthy hop flavors; and very smooth, crisp, and clean to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Bottle received in trade, labeled Shiner Premium Beer. Pours a crystal clear medium golden color with a decent sized bubbly white head that quickly dissipates to wisps of foam on top. Aromas of light bready pilsner malt with a hint of either caramelized sugar or caramel flavoring and a hint of prune type fruits. Very faint aromas of earthy spicy hops round us out. The flavor is a bit sugary sweet with hints of prune or fruit. Little to no hop flavor and just enough bitterness to keep this from cloying. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation. Decent brew, but nothing to go out of your way to try like I did.

12oz bottle from Wegman’s, Buffalo, NY. Pale amber with a thin white head and high carbonation; grainy aroma; sweet grainy taste; with a weak grassy bitterness. A rather ordinary lager.

I don’t know why I’m drinking this at a craft beer festival. Getting to the dregs of the festival - lost in the ghetto wing. Tap at DC Beer festival.

Bottle - Sweet and light grain. Pale clear gold with almost no head. Light apple and grain with a bit sweetness. Another sad and weak beer.

12 oz bottle from the Shiner Family Reunion variety sixer bought at WinCo in CDA, ID. Labeled as Shiner Premium Beer. Aroma is bland pale lagerish with light graininess, faint creamed corn. Pours clear golden with a one finger white head with decent retention. Taste is sweet with no bitterness. Thin-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel. Boring but not bad tasting. Could definitely use some hop flavor and bitterness.

Premium lager, my ass. This is a pale lager through and through. Pale golden in color with small foamy head . Light cereal, corn aroma. taste is also weak, although mouthfeel is faitly slick and has some body. No lngering aftertaste. Macro lager all the way.

Bottle. It’s a clear pale beer with a small, white head. The aroma is pretty weak, with hay, grass notes and pale malts. Quite uninteresting, and that fits the flavor too. But at least the flavor has some citrus and a vague bitterness. Medium body, quite dry and perhaps a bit too heavily carbonated. Short finish with grass, hay and pale malts. Well, it drinks easy, but fails big time to interest me. 131114
