Spoetzel Brewery's Shiner Light

I know, I know, I shouldn't be posting about a light beer. But it's a Shiner, so it's excusable. Yes it is.

Pours a darker yellow (almost amber, even) than any other macro-style lager. Crisp white head that stays longer than most too. Low, and fairly slow, carbonation.

Like many Shiner beers, it tastes like a Shiner Bock Light. Fairly malty with the uniquely Shiner twang to it. It's good, and because it's from Texas would be enough of a reason to pick it over macro lagers. I also like the fact that a Shiner Light actually tastes like a light version of Shiner Bock. I can't imagine it should be any other way.
