Beer Review: Shiner Smokehaus

First, let me explain what a "Helles style" beer is. According to my sources, "helles" is German for "pale", and refers to any pale lager, as opposed to a dunkel bier or dark lager.

My first thought when I saw  "mesquite smoked" beer was that it would taste like a campfire...and not in a good way. And I wasn't far wrong. Any tastiness that mesquite smoking brings to meat it most certainly does not bring to beer.

 I don't often pour beer out before finishing, but I made an exception in this case. This is without a doubt the most horrible tasting beet that I have ver encountered.
