| Brewer's Description: | Refreshingly effervescent, this Summer brew is fashioned after the Kölsch biers that originated in Cologne, Germany in the 1800's. Hallertau Magnum and Mount Hood Hops combine for an especially clean, crisp finish. Handcrafted with small-town pride in Shiner, Texas. Since 1909, the Little Brewery has been the source of every drop of Shiner Beer. We hope you enjoy this beer with the same passion that went into brewing it. Prosit! Here in Shiner, Texas (Pop. 2,070), we've been handcrafting beer for nearly a century. It all started when Czec and German farmers built the Little Brewery to satisfy their thirst for old-world brews. The passion of our original brewmaster, Kosmos Spoetzl, continues to inspire our efforts today. This traditional Kölsch bier is the product of our proud German heritage. |
| Appearance: | Medium golden yellow in color. Slow bubbles evolve while sitting in glass. Poured about an inch of head and retained it for less than a minute. |
| Aroma: | I pick up only a little bread smell compared to the Curve Ball, but more noticeable than in something like Bud Light. |
| Taste: | Decent. Not as good as Curve Ball, but I would drink it if I couldn't get Curve Ball. Not too bitter. Just about right on the bitterness/sweetness scale, for me. |
| Mouth Feel: | Carbonation releases when held in mouth, but not too much. Smooth afterwards. |
| Drinkability: | Good. See taste comments. |
| Score: | 5 / 10 |
