12 oz. bottle, thanks to jcwattsrugger. perfect clarity in a golden color. Mild aroma of hints of pale malts and honey.

No surprise that the flavor is extremely light. light pale maltiness, weak grain and mild cereal flakes. No bitterness and ends lightly sweet. Finish is clean. Body is very thin yet watery. Overall, I haven’t enjoyed this brewery’s yeast strain. This at least is not awful. I feel like overall this brewery has improved over the "Shiner Bock" I sampled years ago.

Bottle. Clear dark brown with mahogany highlights. Small tan head. Light sweet aroma of roast malt and cocoa powder. The flavor is Porter that was watered down with cafe mocha. Not bad just thin bodied and thin flavored.

Pours reddish brown, healthy finger of tannish foam.
Good smell of roasted coffee with some chocolate that seems to be on the sweet side.
Coffee and chocolate dominate the taste. Bitter sweet overall. I like it.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from Andover Liquors. Appearance is clear dark ruby red with minimal sparkle, no head and no lacing. Aroma is dark-roasted coffee. Taste is bittersweet roasted coffee. Palate is medium bodied with thick texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, tastes like sweetened ice coffee. Tasty but much more coffee than ale.

Bottle sent by Shiner for review: The pour is brown like a lighter porter that makes up its base. A foamy head fizzes away like a soda, leaving a slight trail of foam. Smell has some lightly-roasted coffee ahead of some similarly roasty malt. There’s a bit of chocolate in the aftertaste at the finish. Coffee is a good match with a porter or stout. With dark malt adding to the coffee’s taste, you do run the risk of being kept up the night after some coffee beers, and that kind of happened to me, too. So let that be a lesson about pacing myself.

Bottle sent by brewery for review: As befits the golden ale style, it has a rather sweet smell but not overly sweet and yes, there is a little bit of fruitiness to it. It is notably sweeter and less hoppy than the Pilsner or lager which it might resemble. Perhaps it’s partly the power of suggestion from their own description but the Mosaic hops do add a note of papaya, or a little grapefruit note. Otherwise, the taste is lightly malty. It will be very recognizable to anyone who prefers the usual backyard lager. The hop bitterness is noticeably low, but there is just enough of it to keep the beer from getting overly sweet. It’s well balanced: not too dry, not too sweet, goes down easily, and it’s a fully carbonated so it will fill you up a little faster. It is definitely the product of a brewery with a long heritage in German lagers.

24 ounce bottle into tulip glass, best before 5/13/2017. Pours fairly crystal clear golden/amber color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lightly tart lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, green apple, white grape, coriander, citrus peel, salt, wheat, cracker, light herbal/pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/acidic yeast, citrus peels, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of lightly tart lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, green apple, white grape, coriander, citrus peel, salt, wheat, cracker, light herbal/pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light lactic tartness and peppery spiciness on the finish; lingering notes of tart lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, green apple, white grape, coriander, citrus peel, salt, wheat, cracker, light herbal/pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, citrus peels, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/tartness balance, and zero cloying/puckering flavors after the finish. Light-moderate dryness from tart/spiciness, increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, crisp, fairly grainy/acidic, and slightly saline balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.1%. Overall this is a very nice Berliner weisse. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, citrus peels, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the mellow tartness/acidity. Not as lactic as I expected, but there is still enough there to feel like a classic German style representation. Doesn’t feel watered down for the ABV. Very flavorful, balanced, and enjoyable.
