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.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a glass. Pours hazy pale yellow with medium off-white head. Medium carbonation, no lacing, and nice tart apple aroma. Taste is apple and soft wheat. If the taste matched the aroma this be would be good.

Bottle: A dull, brownish-orange pour with lots of bubbles and swirling particulates. Decent ring of creamy beige head with dark spots that mimic sprinkles of nutmeg. Nose is nutmeg, light cloves. The cloves come through stronger in the taste, along with the cinnamon. Picking up some Belgian style yeast, along with pumpkin. Cinnamon gets a little more intense in the tail. Not bad at all, not a world beater by any means, but not as poor as the ratings suggest.

Bottle: Saw this on the singles shelf for $1.50 and I just couldn’t help but try one. After following the label’s pour instructions to the letter, I’m left with a hazy straw colored pour with a modest white head. Fades away quickly leaving just more than a ring. Nose is fruity, a decent raspberry smell akin to jam. A little bit of raspberry up front gets very bitter and floral. I can’t really pick up the wheat… just a soapy tart artificial fruit collision. Unpleasant.

3.1/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 2 Flavor 3 Texture 4 Overall 2.5
Location: 12 oz bottle, 10/17/13

Aroma: The nose is basically nonexistent, hints of wheat, maybe the slightest amount of spice
Appearance: it pours a cloudy orange color with a small white head and no lace
Flavor: The taste is dull wheat, hints of spice, mild sweetness, not terrible, just completely dull
Palate: The body is light, there's lively carbonation, and an overall thinness
Overall Impression: This one is barely worth rating. There's nothing wrong with the flavor here because it barely exists at all. Dull, uninspired, and not a pumpkin beer.

Bottle. Pours a hazy light gold with a white head that lasts throughout the beer. Aroma has a note of sweet apple with an underlying earthy wheat note. Flavor starts with very sweet but light apple and is balanced slightly by the earthy wheat in the finish.

Pours slightly hazed light gold into a shaker. Bright white head crackles and recedes to hug rim. Sweet apple and cinnamon aromas. Dry and sharp with rancid apple and banana front to back. Lasting rotten banana finish.

Bottle over the weekend. Aroma had notes of light pumpkins, some very mild spice character here. Flavor had a very mild pumpkin character to it, but largely bland - both in any actual pumpkin notes or in spices. Mostly Harmless, I guess.
