Review: Shiner Holiday Cheer
by Tiff on Nov.02, 2008, under Food
I saw this new beer in the store and I had to try it! I love trying new things, of course and new beer, well that is a given! Shiner is a big brand here in Texas, it is brewed in Shiner, TX - makes sense, doesn’t it? In California, I saw the original Shiner on the shelves and I liked it, but moving here introduced me to many varieties of Shiner! This new one is Holiday Cheer. It is quite refreshing! The beer is described on the label as “Ale brewed with peaches and pecans and with natural flavor and caramel color”.
I didn’t take the peaches part seriously, as I couldn’t imagine it would taste very peachy. I brought it home and had one and wow, hello peachy! It was tasty! Subtle, yet slightly spicy and definitely peachy. Almost reminds me of peach pie, but it does not at all taste like a cider. It is really different but very unique and yummy! If you see it, give it a try.
