What did you think?
It didn't do much for me either way. I didn't dislike it, but it was just kind of "there". Although it was the last beer I had of the night, and my taste buds were a bit worn out.
Nah - you pretty much nailed it. Unfortunately the "National Beer of Texas" doesn't live up to the lofty title.
When I think of a Texas beer ( non-craft) I always think of Shiner Bock.

Amen to that.
I may have already told this story before, but when I first moved out to Texas for the Army, I went down to San Antonio after a couple of weeks. There was a bar on the Riverwalk called "Dick's Last Resort" which was famous for its surly waiters.
Anyways, the waiter comes up to us and asks what I want to drink. I say "Lone Star", since it is the Beer of Texas. He gives me this look, and says: "Where do you live, son?" I said: "Temple, Texas", trying to appear like a native. He says: "No self-respectin' Texan orders Lone Star; he drinks Shiner Bock."
So I said: "Give me a Shiner Bock", and I don't think I ever ordered a Lone Star ever again.
