Shiner Prickly Pear

I'm not sure what to make of this one. Spoetzl Brewery in my opinion is kind of hit and miss. Shiner can brew the best beer in the world and they also can create the most awful tasting swill. This one falls somewhere in the middle. I'm not sure if they added the prickly pear after the fact or it was part of the whole process, but the prickly pear, a kind of cactus, is prevalent in the mix. And don't get me wrong, it's a pretty good taste and an appropriate add-on for a beer, but the base beer isn't that strong. So, try it for the experience, but I would advise against a six pack.
