I had a business trip to Austin a little over a week ago. While there I tried a local favorite, Shiner Bock from the Shiner brewery down there.
Apparently this is a very popular local brew. I had it on tap and in a bottle. Either way I found it drinkable but not notable. It had a somewhat transparent dark amber color, a creamy nougat colored head that dissipated too quickly, and a mild nose. It is quite plain for a bock. Perhaps it is designed to be a bock that goes with southwest & cajun spicy food?
Sorry to my friends in Austin but this is just ordinary. I would not throw it away if I was given some, but next time in Austin I will seek out some other local brew.
