Shiner Hefe-Weizen
Shiner Hefe-Weizen pours a cloudy straw color with a white head and tiny bubbles that dissipate slowly with quite a bit of lace. This beer is bottle conditioned, so it is hazy with slight chunks of yeast. The smell is that of citrus with only a hint of wheat.
The taste is bright and ‘citrusy’ with a solid, but round malt flavor. It is like drinking golden sunshine. It is medium bodied with good carbonation on the palate. It finishes clean, but with just a touch of yeast.
This beer is really smooth drinking. Although this beer would be really refreshing in the summer, it is full bodied enough to drink year round. I paid $8.49 for a 6-pack.

For a light bodied, golden beer, it’s seriously delicious. It’s good on a hot day or cold night.
