To create the new beer, brewmasters started with Shock Top's signature recipe, adding citrusy Cascade and Magnum hops and dry hopping the beer for several days to give Wheat IPA the rich, hoppy aroma that is the signature of IPAs.

Wheat IPA? Okay, sounds interesting. Well, I’ve had this several times, let’s say something about this.
Most of the time, I’ve had this in pint glasses, but once I experimented with a weizen glass. Basically, the only thing that happened was that the head lasted an exceptionally long time. I think at least a good 4 minutes (too long, perhaps, unsure).
Here we go.
The appearance was a hazy orange to brown color with a one finger white foamy head in the pint glass. The head in the weizen glass was about a good three fingers sustaining. The lacing in both glasses was fairly thick and in both glasses, it slid right into the beer.
The smell had mostly a thick wheatiness about it, and that was about it.
The taste had a thick wheaty flavoring about it.
The palate was about a medium in the body with a fairly thick carbonation allowing the wheat to combine to give a certain fullness about this beer.
Overall, did I like this? Hmmm...well, I did what the side of the bottle said (the pour 2/3 of the bottle and then swirl and pour the rest and serve part). After following the instructions, hmmm...I still didn’t think it helped it too much. Anyways, okay, well next beer, please. But my last words, well, this wasn’t much of an IPA or a wheat beer. I really don’t know what Budweiser was really trying to do with this one.

Draft @ a local chain restaurant. This is part of the reason I hate corporate chain eating establishments, they never anything respectable on draft. Aroma of light citrus orange and dusty wheat.
Flavor has a subdued floral hoppiness. Hints of grass with weak citrus notes. Main body is grain and light in body with a slightly dry texture. Well, this is a better offering than Twisted Pretzel I had right before this, not saying much but I was able to finish the whole pint. It is about what I expected it to be and after all it is AB In-Bev, yep!

Hazy. Just like other Shock Tops strong orange and wheat with some hoppy bitterness added. More wheat beer than IPA. Easy to drink. Would pick over any other Bud product any time. Pretty Good.
