Shiner Prickly Pear from the Family Reunion pack.

Shiner is well know for its "bock" that can be found around the country and on tap at almost every bar in Dallas.  This session beer is something altogether different.

A - Pours a substantial amber copper color with an off white, creamy rather foamy head that dissipates very slowly.

S - Strong aroma of fruit, very sweet and citrusy.  I'm getting a lot of orange, grapes and maybe some peach.

T - The taste started with a light bitterness, which was surprising, but then becomes tart. It's not overwhelming, but it is bold.  Unlike most anything I've had in the way of fruit beers, slightly artificial, but it's not bad.  

M - The beer is on the light bodied side and slightly carbed.  An easy crisp drink.

O - Not a great beer, but another good summer choice.  Refreshing crisp and interesting!
