About
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. A- Lemons, wheat. A- Yellow color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Quite sweet, mildly sour, lemons, minimal spice. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, smooth tart finish. O- A refreshing shandy, but the lemon tones are a little artificial tasting. Still not too shabby of a shandy.

On tap. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has lots of sweet wheat and sweet citrus with a touch of bitterness. Flavor has sweet wheat with a light sweet citrus note and a bit thin in the finish.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a glass. Pours dark/medium brown with small beige head which dissipates quickly. Little lacing, medium body, low carbonation, and chocolate aroma. Taste is chocolate, some vanilla, and hints of marshmellow. Not bad, but nothing extraordinary.

Sample at Kurtkeller 001: Pumpkin-tastic 01 on 11/22/2013. Dark brown pour with a thin beige head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of chocolate, malt and vanilla. Light-bodied with flavors of sweet cocoa, vanilla and malt. The finish is sweet with a pure milk chocolate aftertaste. Decent, although I don’t know what exactly qualifies it as "Belgian" unless it refers to the chocolate.

Bottle at JW Marriott, Orlando, 18th November 13. Weird artificial flavour, very strange taste at the back end. Did not bother finishing this one.
