First up, and just in time for October, is Shiner Oktoberfest! Let me start by saying that Autumn is my favorite time of the year. So, it's only natural that beers brewed for Autumn are also, my favorite kinds of beer (except for Pumpkin beer). I like the Oktoberfest style of beers especially, and I make it a point to try different Oktoberfest beers when and while I can. So, this time around it's Shiner's turn...
Shiner Beer is brewed in Shiner, TX. Their most popular beer is Shiner Blonde. I have not seen an Oktoberfest seasonal brew from Shiner, so I was excited about trying it. I was not disappointed. Coloring was an orange-brown, and not too much foam when poured into the glass. It was very smooth and crisp, but yet had the distinct flavor that caramel malt gives to an Oktoberfest-type beer. Also, it was not too heavy. Sometimes the combination of barley, hops, and the caramel malt can be overpowering in some beers, and it can make the beer taste heavy. Shiner Oktoberfest is a good tasting beer, and I recommend it.
So, for Shiner Oktoberfest… Good Beer!
