Shiner Prickly Pear:
Hello all and welcome to beer review day…hell I don’t know, I’ve lost count and I’m behind at the moment so let’s get down to brass tacks shall we?  Shiner beer is one we all know and, a lot of us, love and they like to throw us loyal drinkers a bone every once and a while and they have thrown us another bone.  Prickly Pear is numero tres in the Brewer’s Pride line that is available only in the variety pack so if you want one, you’ll have to buy a 6 or 12 pack of the Shiner family pack.  Now with that out of the way, how does it taste?  Well first, it pours rather meekly with very minimal head on the beer but a strong nose is thick with citrus notes and floral interlacing throughout.  The beer itself is one of personal distinction with tastes varying from “sour apple” to a toned down citrus comparable to the Ruby Redbird to a semi sweet pear.  I really interesting and complex beer that begs for repeated visits which would be great to do if you didn’t mind stocking up on other Shiner beers (which could be expensive but not necessarily a bad thing).  So this makes 2 out of 3 on the Brewer’s Pride line, which begs the question: Can I find the first one?  Let the hunt begin.
