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.

12 oz. bottle. Pour hazy butterscotch with a medium, rocky, beige head. The aroma is lemon peels, hay, mild cheese, and dust. The flavor is mildly bitter and faintly sour. The palate is light, a little grainy, and clean. Overall, this is a mediocre beer, with very little flavor or complexity.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours hazy orange with a slight off-white head. Smells like a frickin wit. Med body. Starts a little hoppy and then the wit ingredients wipe that. The word disgusting came to my mind.

Hazy nice copper coloured body with a dense, slightly soapy off-white head about four centimetres tall - a nice look for a beer from AB. Aroma of pale malt, no hops, no wheat, no traditional characteristics - just a smell of a plain lager with perhaps a bit more unfinished sugars. Light to Medium-bodied; Slightly soapy flavour with some sugars, malt and a very very small amount of stale hops that barely have any alpha acids left. Aftertaste shows a mild yeastiness, some malt and just about nothing else. Aftertaste is just as bland with no wheat nor IPA flavours lingering, just some alcohol and a bit of funk. Overall, a pretty bad offering, and when the only thing good to say about is that it wasn’t horribly offensive, you’ve got a beer that you don’t need to search out and find. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 28-May-2012 for US$1.15 sampled at home in Washington on 12-July-2012.

Bottle: Poured a light gold/orangey color ale with a medium size foamy head. Aroma of light piney and citrus hoppy notes with some sweet wheat malt notes. Taste is also a good mix between some light piney and citrus hoppy notes and some lightly sweet wheat malt notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Better then I had expected but not sure I would buy this again since it is lacking a bit of a hops punch.

Pours hazy dark gold into a Sam glass. White conglomerate head with excellent retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Toasted nuts and coriander aromas. Sweet toffee front to back. Mild, bitter and sour malt finish. Looks good and nice palate, but I found no wheat or hops. Yuk.

Bottle bought in GA
Appearance: Hazy golden with lots of floaters (yeast/wheat?) with a small white head
Aroma: Light malts, grainy and citrus

Ok, pretty light on the hop aroma/flavors.

heh heh heh heh heh heh Jesus Christ heh heh heh heh heh heh I can’t stop laughing long enough to rate this piece of shit. Oh lordy, this beer may be the funniest thing that’s happened to me in two weeks. Shock Top Wheat India Pale Ale. There’s only six words in the title, but there’s at least seven outright lies. I can’t even say this beer is shocking; no, it’s the tremendous festering turd I knew it would be. No hops, nothing resembling a wheat ale, no pale ale-ness, either, just a fruity, off-tasting sweetness and a mouse burp’s worth of bitterness. This beer is for idiots, brewed by assholes. Fuck ’em. They deserve each other.

bottle - To me calling this beer an IPA is a stretch. Obviously the brewer does, but I think Three Floyds Gumballhead is a more bitter wheat ale and it’s not even considered an IPA. hmm. Oh well. Pours up hazy and pale with a citrusy aroma and a minimal, fizzy head. The flavor has a mild to moderate hops bitterness, wheat, and underwhelming malt sweetness. There’s a little mild citrus in this light bodied brew. Not bad.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a hazy amber color with a thin fizzy white head that quickly fades. Aroma of doughy malts, citrus and spice. The taste is caramel malts, wheat, spice, citrus. Thin bodied.
