Shiner Ruby Redbird

Shiner Ruby Redbird


I realize this might not be all that exciting for some of y'all for my first beer post, but I was excited to finally find this in Florida.




I enjoyed it.  Thought is was kind of a fun and interesting post-lawnmowing type beer.  The ginger is the dominant flavor, though there are hints of wheat and the grapefruit is subtle. I would actually prefer a little more grapefruit and less ginger.  The dominance of the the ginger  coupled with the fact that it is highly carbonated makes it taste a little too much like ginger ale for me.  It was better when poured into a pint glass and allowed to sit a bit to warm and let some of the fizz dissipate.


All in all, another good offering by the folks at Spoetzl.
