But what better chance then now when I&#8217;m trying to highlight good <a href=\"http:\/\/barleyvine.blogspot.com\/search\/label\/Session%20Beers\">solid session beers<\/a>.  This particular beer has been released celebrating Shiner&#8217;s 99th Birthday.  They&#8217;ve released a few others, two that I&#8217;ve <a href=\"http:\/\/barleyvine.blogspot.com\/search\/label\/Shiner\">posted on in the past<\/a>.  Unfortunately these have been pretty hit or miss, however one was such a hit that its turned into a regular offering in the form of Shiner Black.  Now on to this beer, Shiner 99 a Helles Lager.<br \/>The Beer:  This one pours a dark straw colored with a decently sized white head, that dissipates relatively quickly.  Some hop notes in the nose along with some pale malts.  The hops are the nice mild hallertau and that&#8217;s evident on the nose.  Not the big grapefruit you get from American hops and that&#8217;s appropriate for this style.  The mouth has some nice bitterness up front with a mild malty sweetness on the finish along with a mild spicy character.  Good depth of mouthfeel, there&#8217;s no thinness here, which was my complaint with Shiner 98.  A mild beer with a good depth of flavor, smooth but with a good amount of carbonation.  A very good solid offering from little Shiner, Texas.  This one gets a solid B from me.
