Shiner Peach Wheat

United States·Fruit Wheat Ale
Tap to rate

Shiner Peach Wheat is a seasonal beer brewed with sun-ripened peaches from the Texas Hill Country around Fredericksburg. The base combines two-row barley, Munich malt and wheat malt, and the beer is barely filtered, so it pours a hazy golden. Ripe peach carries both aroma and palate, joined by soft, bready grain and a light sweetness, before a crisp, refreshing finish at 4.5 percent.

◌ Aroma

Ripe peach dominates the nose with a sun-warmed, stone-fruit intensity that immediately signals the beer's defining character. Soft, bready grain notes emerge beneath, contributed by the wheat and Munich malts, while a light, yeasty undertone from the barely filtered base adds subtle complexity. The overall impression is fresh and summery without any sharp or fermented edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is bright and fruit-forward, with juicy peach flavor establishing the palate immediately. The mid-palate expands with soft, grainy malt sweetness and a gentle wheat character that balances the fruit without becoming cloying. Light residual sweetness persists before a clean, crisp bitterness—modest at 15 IBU—arrives to refresh and define the close.

◑ Finish

Crisp and refreshing, with the modest bitterness fading to a dry, grain-tinged aftertaste. The peach impression recedes gracefully, leaving a bright, thirst-quenching character that invites another sip.
