Beer Review: Shiner 102 Double Wheat

I've usually had good luck with Shiner beers, although I still have nightmares about that smokehaus ale----eeeeyee. This one, in honor of their 102nd anniversary is a winner. A pale yellow, filtered wheat, 6.2% ABV, with a frothy white head. Doesn't have any of the distinct "wheatiness" that characterizes many wheats. The vibe is more of a lager, but with some subtle flavors and aromas - a hint of lemon, and maybe a bit of cloves on the back of the tongue. Plenty of carbonation --- clear, refreshing ----passable session beer.
