Sunday Night Suds - Shiner Light Blonde

This week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Shiner Light Blonde.

The Shiner Light Blonde is the second light beer that I have tried from the Spoetzel Brewery and it light years from the Shiner Light which I tried back in 2009 (reviewed here https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2009/11/sunday-night-suds-shiner-light.html).

While I suspect that many non macro-breweries began producing light beers in an attempt to recapture those lost souls who have stopped drinking beer in the misguided belief that other forms or alcohol are lower in calories, they have often sacrificed taste in the name of lower calories. However, the Light Blonde is unlike these light tasting beers.

The Shiner Light Blonde poured a light golden yellow, typical of most lagers. The first taste was bready malt and the malts continued throughout successive sips. There was some hop bite, but it was very subdued and more of a suggestion than a bite. Still, the beer was quite good for a light beer and better than some other light craft brews I have tried lately.

The Shiner Light Blonder is under the Kosher Supervision of the Va'ad of Detroit although there is no symbol on the the bottle. To see what the experts on Beer Advocate think about this brew click here beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/143/69430.

As always, please remember to drink responsibly and to never waste good beer unless there is no designated driver.
