This beer has a straw yellow color with a thin white head. It didn't have much of a smell aside from weak hints of wheat and a slightly stronger smell of piney hops. The taste was pretty solid and it had an excellently smooth taste due to its nice smooth hoppy finish. The carbonation was light but it went down nicely. A very good beer.

On my first ever trip to the Lone Star State of Texas to see the Tallica boys, I decided to pick myself up a 6pk of 16oz Lone Star beers from the local Kroger, yee haw! I believe this Hank Hill style lager relies heavily on the Texas gimmick, and fair price to keep the cowboys coming back time and time again. Not a beer I’d buy regularly if it was available to me all of the time, but a must if I am ever back in Texas.

I must strongly disagree with who I call beer snobs or snooty. Lone Star is imho much more deserving of a better score. Having said that here is my review.
L: amber/stray in color with lots of streaming bubbles. (I'm giving extra points for the bottle design)
S: grains and grass, maybe a faint whiff of cracker
T: Light and typical of an American lager. There is no mistaking that this is a beer
F: watery and with a very faint pepper at the back of the throat
O: Much better than a lot of the "weekend" beers I have had in the past. I'd reach for a LoneStar over Bud or even Bluemoon. My only complaint is that it is very difficult to get outside of Texas and Louisiana. Luckily I have family in Texas that send me some from time to time. Not as good as Shiner but still up there in my opinion,

12oz can poured into a nucleated Pilsner glass.
The appearance is clear medium gold with 4 fingers of white head. Retention is average.
Strength of aroma is medium. The smell has biscuit, a sweet corn adjunct smell but not as sweet as many adjunct beers, a light hop smell, and Maybe a hint of a metallic smell.
Strength of taste is medium. Taste follows aroma but drier. Hop bitterness is light.
Feel is slightly above medium in thickness. Carbonation and astringency are low.
Overall
, being less sweet with slightly more thickness makes this better than many adjunct lagers.
