Description 

This holiday dunkelweizen practically unwraps itself with hints of Texas peaches and pecans. Caramelized malts give it a uniquely rich malt body that's perfect for the holidays.

The aroma definitely highlights the peach, which is a sweet, almost overripe statement. The pecans are there, along with a touch of vanilla flavor. The beer itself is clear, reddish brown, almost ruby with a substantial slightly off-white head. The base style is a dunkelweizen, but there isn’t any real dunkelweizen character, other than the persistent head, and the darker color. Peach with a light nutty background carries through in the flavor of the beer and the touch of vanilla flavor gives this a dessert beer character. Peach aroma and flavor in abundance, nuanced by a touch of caramel pecan. Not everyone is looking for peaches in their holiday beer stocking, but for those who are, this beer works.

Brewery Introduction

Since 2009, every drop of Shiner Beer has been brewed at the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, Texas (population 2,069). Today, our little brewery sends more than 6 million cases of delicious Shiner beer to states across the country. We think our founder, Kosmos Spoetzl, would be pretty proud.
