PSA: Shiner Wicked Ram IPA is BAD

I'm no cicerone, but I think where they went wrong is choosing water drained from old truck radiators to make the beer.

It's nothing to write home about.. or start a thread about, but it's drinkable. There is a music venue I go to where it's the best thing they have.

So I tried to give it to my dog. He took one lap, turned away, and started licking his junk. Presumably to get the taste out of his mouth.

How was the lacing?

I've been unimpressed with just about everything they make save for Bock and the original "Beer"... both are imminently drinkable with a plate of Brisket and Ribs.

I thought it was pretty bad too but I could finish it.

I'd imagine once it gets old it taste very metallic. That great iron rich water of central texas seems to make its way into their beers

That must be it.

I was only half joking when I said it tasted like it was made in a truck radiator.

But, FWIW Shiner bock was my staple drinking beer when i lived in texas. I never noticed a metallic taste...

Perhaps my palate is much more refined these days

Like Jockamo bad?

I don't prefer Jockamo, but if someone gives me one I'll drink it.

I'd prefer not to drink at all rather than the Shiner IPA.

Shiner quality has plummeted over the past 5 years
