🌍 United States · Alcohol-Free Lager · One of 103 Alcohol-Free Lagers in hopIQ

Shiner Rodeo Golden Brew was introduced in 2023 as a non-alcoholic take on a classic American lager and stays below 0.5 percent alcohol. It pours a clear golden color. Crisp, lightly grainy malt notes lead, balanced by delicate fruity esters and a gentle hop profile. The body is light and the finish short and clean, with only a faint bitterness that lets the malt have the last word.

clear goldenlight headbright clarity

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft, grainy malt character—understated grain and cereal notes typical of a pale lager base. Delicate fruity esters emerge in the background, accompanied by a whisper of gentle hop aroma. The overall bouquet remains restrained and inviting, without aggressive spice or herbal notes.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and crisp, with lightly sweet grain flavors setting the tone. The mid-palate remains lean and straightforward, allowing the pale malt to carry the body. A faint, measured bitterness arrives late, never overwhelming, and permits the malt profile to conclude the flavor arc.
