I love shiner and i am a texan so i have to have pride in my state's product. It is very good and whenever i can't get negra modelo, i get shiner. That being the case, i compare the two. They both have very similar aftertastes, but shiner doesn't have the diversity of negra. Shiner is a very good straightforward beer. It's just not that complex and that is the only reason i didn't give it a 5.
