Shiner ¡Órale!

United States·Mexican Lager
Tap to rate

A Mexican-style lager launched in 2022, brewed with premium two-row malt, lager yeast and agave. The agave gives the beer an earthy, mildly sweet character with a faint honeyed, vegetal note, set on a light and grainy malt base. The body is light, the bitterness low, and the finish crisp and clean. It is the original version of the line; a lime variant, ¡Órale! Limón, followed in 2024 and has since replaced it on the brewery's website.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a light, grainy malt foundation and gentle honeyed sweetness from the agave adjunct. The mid-palate is clean and slightly vegetal, with minimal bitterness and a dry quality that prevents heaviness. Bitterness remains subdued at 9 IBU, allowing the malt and agave interplay to dominate.
