Bottle. A- Grapefruit juice, subtle cleaner. A- Orange gold color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Grapefruit, artificial juice, cleaner. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly sweet finish. O- Shock Top seems to be getting cheaper and crappier. I used to call most Shock Top beers a guilty pleasure, but anymore they’re just bad. Fake tasting and not good. Can barely make it through an entire bottle of their newer offerings.

Bottle. A- Citrus, lemon peel, cleaner. A- Golden orange color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Citrus, cleaner. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, artificial finish. O- Not bad at first but progressively gets worse. Not sure what Buddha hand tastes like but it’s mostly lemon and citrus but turns into an artificial cleaner taste after a while. Not impressed.

12oz bottle (4% abv) picked up at Harmons
Pours slightly cloudy light golden with a small white head that dissipates quickly to a small ring, light lacing. Aroma of ruby grapefruit. Flavor of grapefruit, sweet malts and lemon zest
Couldn’t finish the glass, footbalmed.

Cloudy yellow pour with a small white head and fair retention. No lacing. Grapefruit nose. Flat mouthfeel. Smooth and clean fruity citrus taste. Very refreshing. Not overly fruity or sweet.

Bottle, clear pale. Somewhat artificial fruit aroma. Taste is zesty with a little cough medicine in there. Fruity aftertaste, sizzly. Somewhat refreshing at first. Then, goes a shade unnatural. Not bad. Cranberry adds a biting fruity sensation to this brew. Finish comes off a little fake.

Part of their mixed 12-pack. Looks the same as the Cranberry White I just did. Coudy, golden-yellow, white cap, decent stay and lacing. The aromas are milder with this one. Apple juices also in the taste, but here with the yeast in the finish. Not too sweet. Feels like natural apples. Just not as well-balanced as their cranberry one

Part of their new mixed 12-pack. In Canada under "Cranberry White" at 5.2% ABV. Pours a cloudy golden-yellow colour with a white cap, decent retention and a small top of foam above the brew. Smells like pure cranberry juice. The taste has the cranberry notes, but not as potent. Well-blended with the wheat, all quite refreshing and winter festive. Nicely done!

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 1/27/2017. Pours hazy pale golden/straw color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big ruby red grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel, coriander, pepper, wheat, cracker, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Nice aromas with good balance of citrus juice/peels, spices, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with good strength. Taste of big ruby red grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel, coriander, pepper, wheat, cracker, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal bitterness, yeast spice, and tangy fruit tartness on the finish; with lingering notes of ruby red grapefruit, lemon zest, orange peel, coriander, pepper, wheat, cracker, herbal, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of citrus juice/peels, spices, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/spiciness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Light dryness from tart/spiciness, lightly increasing through the glass. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, fairly crisp/grainy, lightly acidic, and slightly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is good. A bit thin, but not watery. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is a very solid fruit beer. All around good robustness and balance of citrus juice/peels, spices, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink. Barely any Wit yeast presence, but the coriander presence was solid. Tasted more like a shandy than the witbier that was advertised, but not bad at all. Nicely enjoyable and tasty.

Bottle. No particular aroma. Looks like lemonade mixed with iced tea. Pour has lots of sediment on the bottom. Not really overwhelming on the spiced end with the taste but a tad honey sweet. Decent co2. Yes, fairly mild beer of a different genre. Goes down goodly. Well balanced with the ginger but I don’t feel any heat. Better than expected.
