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.

Bottle from Total Wine in Folsom, CA. As Shockolate Wheat. Pours brown with a tan head. Aroma is mild chocolate with a spice note. And vanilla. Med body or nearly. Flavor is chocolate, vanilla and some spice. I’m thinking wheat can’t support these sorts of flavors. Barley. Might have made this work.

Thanks to Lilihel for bringing this one back from Vegas. Now goes under the name "Shockolate Wheat". Pours a hazy dark brown colour with a fizzy head that disappears quickly, leaving no lacing at all. Big vanilla nose with some chocolate. The taste is quite mild compared to the nose. Slight pasty mouthfeel. Not as bad as their Honey Bourbon (as in one is good, but then it hard to have another), but most of this seems pretty fake, like essences.

This fruit beer poured a cloudy yellow colour with a bright white, foamy head. Scents include light corn, citrus and a little yeast. First swig was quite a shock to the palate. Flavours of lemon citrus and malt. Finish was lemony with a sweet finish. Like beer and lemonade mixed together.

Pour is a dark brown with a small tan head. Aroma is a nice chocolate and vanilla combo. Flavor is more of the chocolate and not much after than. Really carbonated and its like drinking a chocolate soda. With these shock top beers you never really know how much of the flavor is artificial or natural. I’m guessing artificial since this is pretty sweet and chocolaty.

Not much better. The chocolate saved it.

Draught @ Homewood Suites, New York
Pours hazy yellowish with a smooth head. Aroma of wheaty notes, citrus and spices. Taste is watery, mildly wheaty and stuffy with hints of spices. Finish is stuffy and slightly fruity. Quite easy going.

12 ounce bottle. Pours a clear amber with a thin white head. Decent head retention. Aroma of caramel, wheat and toasted bread, pretzel like indeed. The taste is wheat, caramel, spice, salt, stone fruit, burnt popcorn. Thin bodied. A novelty for sure but not bad.

12 oz bottle from Target. Nose is like a white chocolate cocoa mixed with Hersheys syrup. Clear dark brown with a medium beige head. Flavor is a sweet malty base beer with Hershey syrup mixed in, a beer version of chocolate milk. Tasty and drinkable if I was still 5 years old. Probably would sell well in France and the kids could drink it at meals instead of wine.
