First off, by way of disclosure, I was sent a six-pack by the Shock Top brand manager for review (see it on You Tube as a "One-Take Beer Review"). Second off, I kind of surprised myself by liking it. But take that with a grain of salt of you want. Pour a very fizzy head over a pale, hazy beer body. Lemon smell is not as pronounced as I thought, in fact there’s more of the wit spiciness in the nose than I would have expected. No Lemon Pledge flavor, just a lemony backbone. I wish they would stop dancing around label requirements for the vague ingredient "Natural Lemonade Flavor," but I’m going to say this stands out pretty well against all the other lemonade-diluted Summer Shandys.

Bottle: Poured a light gold/orangey color ale with a medium size foamy head. Aroma of light piney and citrus hoppy notes with some sweet wheat malt notes. Taste is also a good mix between some light piney and citrus hoppy notes and some lightly sweet wheat malt notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Better then I had expected but not sure I would buy this again since it is lacking a bit of a hops punch.

Pours hazy dark gold into a Sam glass. White conglomerate head with excellent retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Toasted nuts and coriander aromas. Sweet toffee front to back. Mild, bitter and sour malt finish. Looks good and nice palate, but I found no wheat or hops. Yuk.

Even though I have seen the light and turned away from the evil empire after 30 years, I tasted this with an open mind. Poured a bottle into a shaker after mowing the lawn on a 90 degree day. It was refreshing. . . in the same way that iced tea or Gatorade is refreshing. But it is lacking as a beer. Coriander and citrus were present, but I didn’t pick up any crisp wheat. This is definitely better than a BMC lager and I would drink it again if I had no better choices.

heh heh heh heh heh heh Jesus Christ heh heh heh heh heh heh I can’t stop laughing long enough to rate this piece of shit. Oh lordy, this beer may be the funniest thing that’s happened to me in two weeks. Shock Top Wheat India Pale Ale. There’s only six words in the title, but there’s at least seven outright lies. I can’t even say this beer is shocking; no, it’s the tremendous festering turd I knew it would be. No hops, nothing resembling a wheat ale, no pale ale-ness, either, just a fruity, off-tasting sweetness and a mouse burp’s worth of bitterness. This beer is for idiots, brewed by assholes. Fuck ’em. They deserve each other.
