Shiner Light Blonde

Shiner beers come from the Spoetzel Brewery in Shiner, Texas (pop. 2,070). This light beer has 4.2% ABV and 99 calories.

The beer pours an extremely pale straw golden, champagne color. There is not quite an inch of white, fizzing head. The aroma is lightly toasted bread, with a touch of apple and wet cardboard. The taste follows the aromas, with almost no bitterness, but extremely crisp, with ample, refreshing carbonation. This is like any big brewery light beer, but just a small notch cleaner in flavor.
