Beer 204 - Shiner Double Wheat 102

brewed and bottled at the Spoetzl Brewery in Shiner, TX.  Bought at HEB and drunk at home in Katy, TX after dinner at the Saltgrass Steakhouse in Katy, where they didn't have any beers I haven't already triied.

The web site says: "Our Double Wheat features a malt base containing 50 % Wheat. The wheat variety is Brundage, a soft white winter wheat released in 1997 by the Idaho AES. Double Wheat is a hybrid style which falls between a wheat beer and a wheat wine. Shiner 102 is an American style filtered double wheat ale, lightly hopped with aromatic Czech Saaz and WA Golding hop." The bottle adds that this is their latest anniversary ale ... pours a pale straw color with hints of sweetness ... crisp character of malted wheat are sure to refresh your senses. 6.2% alc/volume."

I enjoyed this beer as an after dinner drink (without the cheese) it was slightly sweet and easy to drink and a pleasant way to end the evening.
