Pros: some sweet malty flavors; smooth and sluggable
Cons: bland, watery palate, no true taste; flat; no aroma
Summary: It seems like every region of the country has a beer it’s known for. Unfortunately, these beers aren’t usually considered good, except to the drinkers within the region. Shiner Bock is a great example of this. I tried this beer when I visited ...

Pros: Available in Texas
Cons: Taste, low alcohol content
Summary: Shiner Bock I know enough not to mess with Texas but every time I pass through I tend to have to endure, yes that’s the word - endure, a few servings of the National Beer of Texas, Shiner Bock. Normally a friend or relative gives me a drink ...

Pros: Tastes great, goes down smooth
Cons: Cost and avaliablity
Summary: I had always wanted to try Shiner Bock, but here in eastern North Carolina, it is hard to find. I am a member of a few truck websites/forums, and there are a lot of guys on there from Texas that swear by Shiner. I found Shiner's website, and happily ...

Pros: Best beer ever
Cons: Costs Money
Summary: I am a native Texan, so some might call my opinion biased, but I will state it none the less. Shiner Bock is probably the best (or at least one of the best) "all around" beers in exsistence. I call it a dark beer that drinks like a light. Don't get me ...

Pros: A decent amber lager with a fine brewing tradition.
Cons: Light for a bock. Could use more malt.

Pros: Great with Tex-Mex or Mexican Food, Zero Aftertaste
Cons: Not a "mainline" brand, so it can be harder to find
Summary: OK before you read all of this review you should know two things... 1) I know nothing about beer except if I like it or not. For example: Do I like Budweiser? NO! Do I like Shiner Bock? YES! 2) Well actually I guess there is only one thing you should ...

Pros: Full, excellent taste
Cons: Hard to find outside of Texas!
Summary: If you can find this beer, I highly recommend it. This is by far my favorite beer, and I've tasted a lot. If you like Bass or Killian's Red, it is pretty likely you'll enjoy this one too. If you only like light beer, then I would go ahead and turn...

Pros: No Bitter, Alcoholic, or bad aftertaste.
Cons: None
Summary: I stick to the mixed drinks, but someone told me I had to try a ShinerBock if I hadnt ever had one. Ive tried other beers and never have been able to tolerate any of them.
Most are bitter, leave bad aftertastes, some just have a bad taste.

Pros: It's always in my fridge!
Cons: Shiner on tap isn't as good as from the bottle.
Summary: I spent years not touching the amber beverage, bitter, skunky, or beer-flavored water was my opinion. Then one day on the 4th of July in Leukenbach (no better place to be than that picnic) my options were limited, Shiner (in a can) seemed to be a gamble...

Pros: Just right taste; the colder the better; little aftertaste
Cons: Still regional; treated as an 'import' in many places
Summary: If you couldn't tell it from my picture, Shiner Bock is my favorite beer. It's a cold friend on a hot day.
Not sure what got me started on this brew -- perhaps it was watching the movie 'Fandango' that featured a bunch of University of Texas...
