Dry-Hopped Lager·United States·5% ABV·One of 52 Dry-Hopped Lagers in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Shiner Kosmos Reserve's sweet and malty character. Kosmos Reserve is named after Kosmos Spoetzl, the Bavarian-born brewmaster who took over the Shiner brewery in 1914. The current version is a golden lager brewed with premium two-row barley, American hops and lager yeast, then dry-hopped for aroma. It pours a deep gold with a medium body. Toasty malt leads the nose, followed on the palate by a pleasant malt sweetness, restrained bitterness and a crisp, clean finish.
