Description
Shock Top is a traditional Belgian-Style wheat ale. It was originally created in 2006 as a seasonal brew under the name Spring Heat Spiced Wheat. After collecting gold in ’06 and bronze in ’07 in the Belgian White category at the North American Beer Awards, we decided to brew year-round and switch the name to Shock Top. We couldn’t be happier with our decision. And the best decision you can make is to try some Shock Top for yourself.

355ml can. (2.4% ABV) Pours a cloudy straw yellow with a small, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Sweet aroma of grapefruit. Sweet flavour of grapefruit, sugar and light wheat with a crisp, tart, dry finish. Light body with a sticky, watery texture and lively carbonation. A thirst quenching radler for summer.

355ml can. Pours a cloudy pale yellow with a medium, fizzy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet aroma of green apple, sugar and grainy wheat. Sweet flavour of green apple, sugar and wheat malt with a tart, dry, crisp, slightly bitter finish. Light body with a sticky texture and fizzy carbonation. Somewhere between a cider and an alcopop, not for me.

After having the Bud Light Radler, having this one (both new by AB, both brewed by Labatt in Canada). Pours a hazy light golden colour with a mostly creamyish warm cap with some light creamy lacing. Light grapefruit aromas with the grape juices that sweeten things. Hints of spices. The taste starts off with some mild grapefruit juice and finishes with the Shock Top yeast. Gets better as it goes, but not as good as their Bud Light Radler.

Aus dem local Walmart - optisch orange, kaum Schaum. In der Nase alkoholisch, etwas Orange. Im Trunk echt unterirdisch. Das hat nix mit Belgien zu tun. Sehr plädderich, Weingummi, Lakritz? Im Abgang, wenn man das so nennen kann, leicht bitter. Puh.

Bottle from brother in laws fridge. Dull, flat pour, zero head. Juicy aroma of grapefruits, taste too. Grapefruits dominate the whole thing, not much evidence of a beer in there, minor malty taste near the back. Would be good as a lawnmower beer. Towards the end, lots of soapy flavors become more prevalent. Gets worse as it warms.

Bottle from Total Wine in Sacramento, CA. Pours gold with a white head. Sort of an artificial grapefruit aroma. Flavor is grapefruit, but it’s not very pleasant. I’m thinking fresh grapefruit was never introduced to this beer.

Bottle: Slightly greenish, hazy, yellow-gold with a foamy white head. DISCLAIMER: This is more rant than rate. Smells like hand soap.....really. Taste is also rather soapy/waxy. Undefined watery citrus aspects, soggy grain. This is ASTOUNDINGLY awful.....I honestly feel like filing a lawsuit against AB-InBev.....I want my $1.69 back, a public apology, a paid medical remedy and treatment in case I develop some foamy, soapy flatulence by having a few sips of this.....Gussie Busch would have had anyone responsible for this whacked, quartered, kibbled and mixed in the Clydesdale’s feed bags....and the bottles used to distribute this abomination ground up, melted , blown and formed into a giant glass dick that the family could have blown away with their amazing arsenal of firearms....The Busch family were pretty messed up, but even THEY don’t deserve this being part of the name.

Kroger bottle. Pours deeper golden with a head that disappears COMPLETELY in under 15 seconds. It was almost like alka-seltzer. Aroma is ginger. Hmmm... this is beginning to seem more and more medicinal, as the ginger has a distinct medicinal smell too. Flavor is ginger, green pepper, cardboard. Blah. Alka-seltzer may taste better. EDITED to add: This was a drain pour. I’m dropping the taste and overall. If it’s undrinkable, it’s a 1.

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.
