Shiner Rodeo Citrus Wit

Shiner
Tap to rate
🌍 United States · Alcohol-Free Wheat Beer · One of 28 Alcohol-Free Wheat Beers in hopIQ

The third beer in Shiner's non-alcoholic Rodeo line, introduced in 2024 and styled after a Belgian witbier, though a little clearer than the classic style. Orange zest leads the aroma, with coriander spice and soft wheat behind it. The palate is sweet and comparatively full-bodied for a non-alcoholic beer, with citrus and a faint apricot-like fruitiness, and it ends on a crisp, short finish. Alcohol stays below 0.5 percent.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Shiner Rodeo Citrus Wit

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with exceptional clarity for a witbier—more refined than the classic style's typical haze. The head forms quickly and holds with moderate persistence, leaving delicate lacing on the glass. Fine carbonation visible as a steady stream of small bubbles.

◌ Aroma

Orange zest dominates the nose, bright and fresh, supported by gentle coriander spice and herbal notes typical of witbier. Soft wheat undertones provide a light grain foundation without any assertive maltiness. The overall impression is aromatic yet restrained, with good balance between citrus and spice.

◐ Taste

Sweet entry with a body that impresses for a non-alcoholic beer, carrying genuine substance on the palate. Citrus and faint apricot-like fruitiness develop through the mid-palate, while low bitterness (14 IBU) remains barely perceptible. The sweetness remains integrated rather than cloying, supported by the wheat base.

◑ Finish

Crisp and clean, the finish is deliberately short, allowing the citrus impression to fade quickly. No lingering sweetness or bitterness; the aftertaste is dry and refreshing.
