This is under the shiner premium label which was part of their holiday pack. The aromas are sweet malt and corn. Flavors add some bitterness and reasonable carbonation. Not too bad for this kind of beer. I'd only get it again if there were no other better options.

The aromas are dirty feet mixed with very sweet berries. Flavors are a kind of bland wheat beer with some berry flavor. Slightly thin body okay carbonation and totally forgettable. Drain pour.

Not sure how you can write juicy on the bottle 5 different places and then not fill it with a new england style IPA, but maybe that's just my expectations. Beer itself was alright, bit of malt on the nose along with mostly hops, more bitter than juicy.

It's a light blonde, low calorie, flavorful, inoffensive, refreshing, exactly what it says it is.

At first according to the aroma I thought it may not be too bad but then I tasted it. Some weird fake grapefruit watery thing going on and it's a drain pour.

Want to love it but the dewberries are giving me a headache, cough syrup or some other traumatic smell, it sure is flavorful for low calorie though, but the nose I guess is a personal irk.

From a 12 oz bottle. Pours a clear gold with a white head. Aroma of corn and other grains. Flavors are moderately sweet and malty. Crisp finish. Decent mass market lager

Aroma is Amber malt. Flavor is caramel malt with a little over carbonation seems forced. Maybe some adjuncts in there.

Bottle, Teeter. Nose is roasted pecan, somewhat sweet. Brown in color, little head. Artificial taste, not too strong, coffee, nuts, caramel. Decent, but not great.
