Comments
Caramel and Peaches...
Pours out a dark, ruby red with a full finger of a light tan head.
Lots of sweet and caramel malt aromas and flavors with a little bit of a peachy sweetness on both the flavor and the aroma. The wheat gives a round and soft flavor.The bright, juicy peach flavors linger a bit on the finish, and provide a nice balance to the toffee and caramel malty flavors.
A nice soft wheat along some sweet malty flavors - the peach adds a little bit of brightness, although I didn't get much of the pecan. Still, the Shiner Holiday Cheer is a nice dark beer that's still easy drinking and tasyt!
