Picked up this six pack of six different beers from Spoetzl brewery in Shiner Texas. First one I sampled is called Shiner Hefeweizen. It's a real upscale kind of beer. It's brewed with a hint of cloves, honey, orange and lemon peels. If that isn't enough it has an active yeast. You pour half a glass of cloudy brew , shake up the remains in the bottle and pour it in with the rest in the glass. It is suggested you add a twist of lemon.

Now if this isn't upper crust and non working class I don't know what is. But... it isn't bad. Just not the kind of beer you would throw down while watching a ball game. Least not me....unless somebody else were buying.

Hefeweizen (Hef-ay-vite-zen) recalls the classic beers of Bavaria as a true unfiltered wheat brew. This beer captures old-world Munich Malt, wheat grist used in a scant 1% of all brews worldwide, orange and lemon zest in a frothy classic example of bottle-conditioned beer. Adding clover honey and yeast just before it's bottled touches off a unique, secondary fermentation process inside every keg and bottle before its final release from the brewery.....

Reminiscent of a Red Bass or a Worthington White Shield .
