hopIQ found 10 beers with the same light and malty character as Shiner 1909. Released in 2021 for the brewery's 112th anniversary, this lager takes its cue from the ingredients used in the founding year. It is brewed from a single malt and a single hop, heritage two-row barley and Czech Saaz, and fermented with the house lager yeast. It pours a clear deep straw to gold. Cracker-like malt and fresh bread lead the nose, with a light floral, herbal note from the Saaz. The body is light, a faint honeyed sweetness sits mid-palate, and a mild, earthy bitterness gives a brief, dry finish. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
