• 0:36
  Speaker 3: I like it. Yeah.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: You know what's fun? When we went to Vegas, I
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: was talking to a bunch of different beer tenders there.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: It was so early in the day. We're the only
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: people there, right? So they'd always ask me, you know,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: what do you like? I'm like, I'm a Kolsch guy
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: or Pilsner. And he's like, man, there's a place down
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the street, great Kolschs. And the other one is great
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Pilsner over there. So they embrace just some basic little whatever.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: But of course, it's places that have like 30-effing beers
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: on tap.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Okay. You can have what you want. You can smell
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: the mango or the... What is that?
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Peach?
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Mango?
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. That's mango. Lizzie loves mango. Let's get this
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: in us. Right in my wheelhouse.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: That's pretty good. It's 4.9% alcohol by volume, 20 IBUs,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: first brewed in 2025. Shiner describes it as a light-bodied
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and crisp with pale malt, subtle floral character, juicy mango,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and a clean, smooth finish. While you're drinking it, look
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: for ripe mango first, then a little sweet, bready malt,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: some light floral notes, and a crisp finish. It shouldn't
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: have nearly the hot punch or sweetness of those juicy
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: IPAs we just had. Untapped has an average score of
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: about 3.52 out of 5.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: 3.51.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, brewed in a classic Kohl's, yeah, Shiner Mango Kohl's
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: cleans it, yeah, yeah, yeah. That thing takes half of
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: what this thing says and just adds a couple of
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: different words.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: It's like a jumbler.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: It's got its sources.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: 6,824 ratings.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: 5,915 of those are unique. 88 on the average monthly.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: 5,353 ratings.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Give it a 3.51.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Alcohol volume, which I said. We got NA on the IBUs, right?
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: No.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: What's the number?
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: 20.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: That's coming from Shiner.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Shiner says it's 20 IBUs.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: Which is real low.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: This is the ghost.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: What's up, Steve? Yeah, pretty much.

  Speaker 1: No problems here. You want a beer?

• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: No, that's really good. It's not too fruity either. Beer
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: brew with mango and with natural flavors added.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Pretty good. Yeah. Nice and refreshing.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Okay. Right.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Summertime.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: You want a light, easy drinking beer. You can have
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: a little fruit in there.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, if you're drinking something that's crushable, a
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: little fruit ain't going to hurt nobody.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, a lot of the beers we've had
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: that have been like really great. We're like, oh, my God.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: It's like thinking about the jam band. You know what
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I mean?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: We've been chasing the jam band for seven years.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Boulevard, right? Boulevard Bruin. Yeah.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: It's like the first time we went to where the
• 3:37

• 3:42
  Speaker 1: saw her the first time.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I ain't going anywhere until then.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: We went back 50 times after that. Never saw her again.
• 3:52

  Speaker 3: That's where the buffet was, man. They're like, what? I go, oh, yeah.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Wednesdays was spaghetti.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: It was primo spaghetti.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Man, chicken fried steak day was the best. Oh, it
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: was so good. I was like, just start.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: What one?
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Gravy. Stack gravy.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Make a chicken fried sandwich out of chicken fried steak.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: With chicken fried steak. And another slice of chicken fried steak.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: It's like the double down from KFC. Where they use
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the chicken for the bread.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: The bun.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: It's just three pieces of chicken stacked together. It's awesome.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: It's pretty good. What do you think of score-wise?
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: What do I think?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm asking you.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: I would say a four.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: You'd say a four?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because I really enjoy the style, obviously, and then
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: I actually like the addition of mango here. It gives
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: it a little something extra. It's 105 outside, and this
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: is the perfect beer to kind of cool you off.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: It's pretty good. It's crushable. It's not too sweet. It's
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: right in the slot.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd say a four.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I bet ChatGPT says I would give it a 4
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: or 4.2.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Here's the thing. I don't think ChatGPT understands your love
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: for Kohl's.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Oh, so it's 3.7 on 5 on that one.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: It gave you a 3.6. It said I would say
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: a 3.9. I'm probably at about a 3.75 on this.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I really do enjoy it. It does. Now, I asked.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I said I didn't guess what we would say like
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I did the first time today. I said, what are
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: your guesses on what RD would say? And it said
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: My first guess is it's fine. It's fine.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Did I say it's fine? No.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Well, I'm just saying.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: I say that for other beers.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: You say that a lot.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for other beers.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: And then probably some combination of I don't really get
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: much mango. It's definitely better than that sweet ride.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: It just tastes like a shiner with a little mango
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: in it.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I could drink a couple of these, but I'm not
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: buying a six pack.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: I would buy a six pack of meat.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: And after you ask for a score, he's going to say, eh, 3.5.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's got some hardy sayings down.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: This damn thing's learning too fast. You got to take
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: that thing out front and beat the shit out of it.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Break this computer.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: But it doesn't understand your love for culture. Because if
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: it did, I think it would say different things. But
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I've totally heard you say all of those things during
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: like other reviews, like about.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: You know, two of the beers are over there.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: I've definitely heard you go 3.5 stupid thing.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no.
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to give it a four. I think
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: it's delicious. And like I said, it's for summertime.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Bam. Yeah. I'm kind of sad. I just got one.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I did the whole mix packet Kroger.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Um, Where are they running these days? 1099?
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: 1099. 1099, yeah. But they did take all the Martin
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: House beers out of the single selection area. So that's
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: kind of sad because they had a couple of Martin
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: House beers I wanted, but you have to buy the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: four packs for $ 15. Yeah, man.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: You got to keep these places in business.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Bastards. Kroger has no problem staying in business.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: No, no, no. Martin House and stuff like that.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Once it's there, Martin House is already paid. Yeah, I guess.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Cheers. Miles and miles of good things. Oh, Shiner, Mango, Kolsch.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Have you guys had this one before? What are your thoughts?
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Stop, Steve.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: And just like mango. What do you think of fruit
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and beer? Like just throwing chunks of fruit in there.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Tell us what you think. There's something else in there. Yeah,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: but we don't want that all. Anyways, as always, guys,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I'm Alan.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I'm BGD.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: We'll talk to you guys later. Deuces.
