The Dirt
No, this is not a Shiner-only blog, I swear! At the same time that the spring beer hit the shelves, so did the Shiner 102 Double Wheat. I love wheat beers, so I had to do a double take when I saw this guy.
After admiring the deep golden color, the first thing that pops into my mind is "wheaty" (which one would hope). Light up front, but then that grainy sweetness of the wheat rushes in and slides away. Far better than what the Hef has become, which I contend has become waaaay too heavy on the lemon. Probably the best anniversary beer from Shiner in some time, and a step in the right direction. Still has a very slight penny taste at the very end sometimes, which has plagued new and lighter Shiner beers over the past few years. However, it’s very light in comparison to the 101.
Worth it?
Overall very tasty, and delicious with my burger that just came off the Webber. Would buy again, and kind of secretly hope/wish/pray it will take over for the current Hef, which I know is a long shot.
The Final Word
