Serving Type – Bottle

Style – Czech Pilsner ABV – ?

Appearance – Very clean golden color. Thin airy head with no lacing.

Smell – Just smells like a clean beer, the basic ingredients come through.

Taste – Malts to start with a nice smooth finish. Not much of an aftertaste.

Mouthfeel – Medium carbonation. Very smooth and somewhat on the drier side.

Drinkability – Very easy drinking beer. I let it warm up a little and the real personality came through.

Overall – I have become a huge fan of Shiner over the past year and have loved everything they have released. 101 is a decent beer but not at the top of their offerings in my opinion (personal taste). Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying to avoid it because I really did enjoy it but just not my favorite. That being said, I will probably be going back for a second helping at some point. This was my first attempt with czech pilsners and I’m glad I started with this one.

On the label:

Simple things aren’t necessarily easy. In fact, when it comes to brewing, it’s tough to brew great beer with just a few ingredients. But fear not, at the little brewery in Shiner we know a thing or two about refining even the most challenging of old-world recipes. This Czech-style Pilsner is brewed with barley, hops, water, yeast and 101 years of brewing experience. Here’s to sticking to your roots and keeping things simple, PROSIT!
