Here at the little brewery in Shiner, we’re happy to serve up our latest anniversary brew, Shiner 102. With a special recipe that sits between a bright wheat beer and wheat wine ale, this smooth, filtered, double wheat ale pours a pale straw color with hints of sweetness. And the aromatic Czech Saaz and Washington Golding Hops and the crisp character of malted wheat are sure to refresh your senses. Prosit!

This brew pours a clear straw color with a medium thin foamy white head that evaporates quickly. Short strings of lacing. Aroma of wheat, mild spices and fruit. Light to medium body with flavors of sweet wheat. bready malt and a bit of tart fruit. The finish is short and mildly bitter with a slightly tangy hops aftertaste. Pretty average all around.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 3/9/12

Aroma: The nose has wheat, bread, lemon, spice, caramel, and a bit of corn
Appearance: It pours a clear golden-orange color with a small white lead and light lace
Flavor: The taste is a little sweet, lots of wheat and some light malts and fruit flavors too
Palate: It is fairly light, and a touch watery, it has a rather soft carbonation, and a sticky/sugary finish
Overall Impression: I thought this beer was kind of dull. It isn't terrible, but its flawed and unexciting. It also feels kind of unrefined. There's something here that doesn't work for me.

Bottle: Pale golden pour with lots of bubbles and a small white head. Grassey, crisp, and malty come to mind after a few sniffs. Moderately hopped for a wheat ale; grassey, floral, bready, and wheat flavors fit in like they belong here. Ok.

12oz bottle from Pick’s poured into a shaker. Pours a clear dark gold with about a finger of white head. Aroma is mostly grainy caramel malt with some light grapefruit hops. Taste is light sweet and very light bitter. Similar to the aroma. It’s pretty good, but not a lot going on here. Medium bodied with a somewhat thin texture. Lively carbonation and an average finish. Overall, not bad. Nothing really special but a great intro to craft. And at 6 bucks, it’s a decently cheap intro to craft. I’d take this over any light beer any day.

bottle - Pours clear gold and bubbly with a small white head. The aroma is grainy and lightly fruity. It tastes sweet, light, and bland. It’s not bad, really, but I give it a resounding "meh".

Not so hot. Not just a bland wheat, a little sourish, reminding of me a cheap lager. A bit grainy.

Bottle: Poured a pale yellow color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and not much lacing. Aroma of light wheat malt notes with some medium hoppy notes with some light fruity ester. Taste is a unique mix between some light wheat malt with some fruity ester and some crisp hops with light dry finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. This one seems to be too much in the middle of too many things (wheat ale vs. wheat wine with light hops combo) to be truly interesting.
