I had to fish a bottle out of the recycle bin to take a look lol. 103 is on the neck in small print, very different lable design from the last +5 years if it is the 103 anniversary beer .

Wild Hare us NOT their 103. It's the first Ale they've made in 103 years of brewing, thus the number. The actual 103 beer will he out later this year

Seriously????

Shiner Hefeweizen -ALE
Shiner Winter Ale (Dunkelweizen) -ALE
Shiner 96 Marzen-style Oktoberfest -ALE
Shiner 102 Double-Wheat ALE
Shiner Dortmunder Spring ALE
Shiner 103 WildHare Pale ALE

They put 103 on the bottle because its Anniversary Celebration brew for 2012, thus 103.

I believe the 103 on the pale ale label is merely a recognition of the brewery's age. I highly doubt they are releasing 103 with no recognition. Too many people seek out the anniversary brews to miss the marketing opportunity.

Ya'll can argue all you want, it doesn't change the fact that Wild Hare IS the 103 Anniversary Celebration Brew.

If you don't believe it, call Spoetzl Brewery and ask for godsakes! 361.594.4294

Edit: Just called, and they confirmed it.

I thought the dortmunder had an mellow light sweet appleyness to it,and is a good theme for a spring release.Sessionable with mild sweet fruit tones-remindes me of spring.

Picked up a 6 pack of it today and just tossed one back. I like it, it has a subtle fruitiness that tastes kind of like Perle hops to me.
