Lone Star Beer:

Howdy folks and welcome back to your one and only source for a review of the “National Beer of Texas.”  Yes friends it’s high time we look at that beer that shares it’s name with my favorite state (and home state too!) Lone Star Beer.  So a beer that bears the slogan of “National Beer of Texas” is also a two time Gold Medal winner in Great American Beer Festival in the category of American Style Cream Ale or Lager (the other winners those two years are beers I’ve never heard of, take from that what you will).  So how does a consecutive gold medal beer winner taste to a native Texan with a refined beer palate? (and why did you just snicker when I said “refined beer palate”?) The beer pours the familiar light clear gold color with a thin white head that dissipates very quickly to almost nothing and a nose of overly sweet malts with a sour hop undertone.  The beer’s initial taste is like a mix of Budweiser and Bud Light and, well, yeah that’s about it.  If you’re curious to what else lies beyond that in the taste profile area feel free to consult my nearly award winning reviews of Budweiser and it’s lighter brother.  All I can say is this: if this is the “National Beer of Texas” I say we start an exploratory committee to find a new one ’cause this ain’t cutting it.
