Spoetzel Brewery's Shiner Frost

Not sure why I'm just now getting to this beer, but I'm hoping this goes well with my brisket and sausage from Leon's in Galveston.

Pours a clear, deep yellow to amber with a nice fizzy white head that stays well with decent carbonation. Nice malty smell. Very slight hops smell in there somewhere. Not distinct.

You know, this tastes a great deal like a bock, and not just because it has a hint of the Shiner Bock taste to it, but it has a solid malt that fades pretty quickly to a crisp bitterness that never overpowers it or makes you forget that it's mostly malt. Nice and mild with kind of a peppery finish, it goes very well with my BBQ.
