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.

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.

Chocolate syrup and vanilla nose. Cola black, creamy thin tan head. Vanilla and cocoa, sweet, with a wisp of smoke on the back of the palate. Some wood and ash notes. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Probably artificial flavoring, but it works for me.

Bottle. Pumpkin malt and cinnamon/nutmeg aroma. Golden yellow with large head. Lightly sweet nutmeg, cinnamon and milky pumpkin malt flavor. Okay body. Not bad for a Shock Top.

This was initially poured into a pint glass and really didn’t show much. So having grabbed another bottle, I poured the second one into a tulip seeing if anything changes, here are my findings and there was barely any difference.
The appearance was a semi-dark red color with a fizzy bubbly head. There wasn’t any lacing.
The smell had some honey sweetness but that wasn’t bourbon from what I smelled next, not exactly sure what it was but I know that wasn’t bourbon.
The taste was almost overly sugary sweet to an extent with the same aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body but due to the overly sugary sweetness I didn’t find this exactly sessionable.
Overall, if you like sugary sweet beers you may really like this, but for me, I really don’t see the need to come back to this.
