Bottled. Brownish pour. A fairly boring light lager with a rye grainy tang to it. Nothing special here

Bottle. Brown color with medium head. Aroma is slightly nut, slightly hay. Taste is of a malty, grainy, slightly nutty flavor.

Bottle - Grains and toasted malts with some light sweetness. Dark copper with a rich tan head. Caramel and toasted malts with a sweet apple finish. Not great, but so far the best from them.

Bottle offered @ gmellison. Picked this up in town in a mixer sixer. Pours a pretty clear rust orange / brown appearance with a thin off white head. Aroma is pretty bready with some slight chocolate and caramel. Flavor is super boring. A bit of caramel and a bunch of bitter, dull herbal hops. Maybe a touch of citrus. Bleh.

12 oz bottle from the Shiner Family Reunion variety sixer bought at WinCo in CDA, ID. Aroma is biscuit, toasty, bready, rye--all pretty faint. Pours clear copper with a one finger beige head with good retention. Taste is sweet and a bit savory, toasty, biscuit, spicy hops presenting themselves after the swallow. Thin-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel, just like the other three I’ve had from the six pack. This is actually pretty decent; much better than the Premium, Kosmos Reserve and the flagship Bock.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 9/11/2012. Pours a fairly crystal clear red copper color with a small light khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings to the glass. Aromas of apple, pear, caramel, toast, biscuit, toffee, molasses, light rye, and herbal earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance and complexity. Taste of caramel, toast, toffee, molasses, bread, light fruits, earth, herbal, light chocolate, light rye spiciness; and a light metallic note. Lingering notes of caramel, molasses, toast, bread, toffee, light fruits, earth, herbal, and light rye on the finish for a good bit. Nice balance and robustness of flavors; not as much rye flavor as I was expecting; zero cloying flavors present after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a creamy and fairly slick mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with hardly any warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a nice rye amber lager. A nice amount of robust flavor for being under 5%; and very smooth to drink as expected. A nicely enjoyable offering.

12 ounce bottle. Dark reddish brown color. Small bubbly tan head. Smoky metallic burnt match aroma. Interesting subtle, sweet roasted malt flavor hints at rye bread. Medium body with a tangy hop finish. Decent brew.

Bottle. Pours with a clear bronze hued body with a small and fading white head. Aromas are spicy, earthy, tobacco, dry, lightly vegital, chocolate, light hop character. Flavors are sweet, toasted malt, rye, nutty, light caramel. Lively bubbles, medium dry. Pretty watery, but not that bad.
