This is truly an everyday beer. Shiner released it as a summer style brew, but it is smooth enough to have have a few in a row.
It starts off quite lighter than Shiner Bock. The first flavor that reached my tongue was a light "hoppy" touch. As it made it's way down my mouth a hint of smoky brisket went through my mind. The finish was very light and smokey as well. I loved it! To hear that a B B Q flavor is present would have someone think it would be too strong to finish one, but it has a very faint touch of liquid smoke. There was not a smokey aftertaste following the finish beyond the last 2-3 seconds. I have gone through three 6-packs in the last few months.
This is great with grilled burgers or Bar B Que, also with a dark maduro too. I will certainly look forward to Shiner's 2010 sommer bier (summer beer).
We still mourn the loss of Shiner Leicth at our house. Smokehouse was a similar beer, but will never take the place in our hearts for Leicth.
