Shiner Golden Ale

Shiner beers come from the Spoetzel Brewery in Shiner, Texas (pop. 2,070). This is a 4.6% ABV golden ale. 

The beer pours a deep golden in color. There is over an inch of white foamy head, a bit fizzy, with lots of fine carbonation covering the glass. The aroma is grassy, herbal, citrus, over toasted golden grains, with a touch of hay. The taste is citrus, especially lemon, over toasted grain, with a light floral and honey note. The finish is semi-dry, with a light bitterness. The beer drinks very easy, nicely carbonated, but not overly so. I really like that label, great retro style.
