Shiner Dunkelweizen
Spoetzl Brewery

Tasted great at first. Then got a little funky.

 

 

I am trying a bottle of this beer from a mixed Christmas holiday 12pck that I bought from my local meijer store. It poured a clear dark amber with thin white ring head that is not leaving any lace. The scent had grain and malt notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with crisp malt base with grain and bittering hop finish. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

 

 

 

 

 

Pours clear but dark mahogany brown, ruby tint. Large but short-lived tan head. Nice lacing. Aroma is roasted malt, rye bread and stone fruit. Flavor follows the nose, slight sweetness, slightly tart. Feel is light and well carbonated. Overall, very drinkable.

Poured from bottle into tulip, good 2+ finger light tan creamy head, good retention and lacing. Hazy amberish gold in the glass. Baked bread, honey and dark fruit on the nose. Taste follows nose, getting bread notes and sweet malt on the front end, dark fruit (fig, raisin) come thru the middle with a finish a little on the sweet side. Strong carbonation tames it and keeps it in check. The dark fruit lingers on the finish.

Shiner Dunkelweizen has a very thick, beige head and a cloudy, caramel appearance, with some splotchy lacing. The aroma is of rich, glutenous brown wheat bread. The flavor is of somewhat bitter, very spicy brown wheat bread. Shiner Dunkelweizen has a medium body and a dry finish.

unimpressed with this wheat beer, maybe because its not light and fruity like weizen should be. I have to admit that being a Texan I have been disappointed by Shiner every time. for the price i expect better
