Nice construction, good draw, burned perfectly all the way (no touch ups). The flavor was mild/medium, no spice and pretty much one dimensional...didn't change at all throughout. I am looking forward to trying the one I saved, it's been laid down now for a few months. I'll let you know if it developed any more strength or complexity.

Thanks, I had gotten an eoffer from, what I guess is referred to around here as the devil site, for a variety pack of 15 for 29 bucks so I was checking around the web for info. If I'd seen your mild/medium rate I might have passed I like them medium/full. For the price, no harm done. Others seem to like them.
Thanks for your swift reply. (I found the email from Puff notifying me of your reply as I was looking for my order confirmation from CI. haha)

Don't let my review scare you, it was one data point...pretty much right out of the packaging. I bet they'll be better with a little age.

Attached (if I did it right) is a pic of the Nica from that Guard deployment I was talking about...no we don't just sit around drinking and smoking, but it was one hell of a last night!

1990 stands for the independence of Nicaragua, (Nica Libre 1990), translated basically means Nicaragua freed in 1990.

+1, Love the Shiners. How did it pair with the Libre?

That's a sexy looking box. Must have been a great experience from opening the UPS package all the way to the nub.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
Brad

Great pair. The smoke was average, but that was a great Hefeweizen. I usually have the Shiner Bock, but the maduro with a wheat beer was a surprisingly nice change up.
