Shiner Prickly Pear

◎ Appearance

Pours a striking bright pink, a direct result of prickly pear fruit addition. The beer displays excellent clarity with a fine, persistent white head and good lacing retention. Carbonation is crisp and visible, creating a lively visual presence in the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with delicate floral notes and fresh fruit character from the prickly pear. Gentle, understated aromas of melon and subtle herbal nuance round out the profile. No aggressive hop presence; the adjunct fruit takes center stage while the Malz provides a soft backdrop.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with light tartness from the prickly pear, followed by subtle sweetness and melon-like fruit notes. Bitterness is restrained at 12 IBU, allowing the fruit and a clean Malz character to dominate. The body is crisp and lean, befitting the 4.9% ABV.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and refreshing, with the tartness fading quickly into a dry, crisp aftertaste. No lingering sweetness or fruit clinginess; the beer closes with an inviting, thirst-quenching character.

Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C. Carbonation and crispness are the main event — cold preserves both.

The sturdy German stein maintains temperature and keeps carbonation intact. Built for long, convivial drinking.
