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.

Pours slightly hazed deep amber into a shaker. White head recedes at a medium pace leaving no lacing. Sweet pumpkin and nutmeg aromas. Dry with bubblegum and pumpkin upfront turning to earthy pumpkin before the lasting slightly sour finish.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a shaker. Pours light orange with small off-white head. Little lacing, medium carbonation, medium body, and light pumpkin aroma. Taste is pumpkin, nutmeg, clove, and a hint of banana. A descent AB product.

I had this while camping out with some friends at the Indiana Dunes State Park. I had this during the night, so I can’t really comment on the appearance. If anything, this tastes like Shock Top but with a slight hint of pumpkin, and when I say slight I mean SLIGHT. I think they just tried to get in on the pumpkin beer season and figured they’d just add a small bit of pumpkin flavoring to their already popular offering. Meh.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy orange-amber color with a huge foamy orange-white head that lingered and left a bit of lacing. The aroma was faint dry nutmeg, dust and a hint of cinnamon. The flavor was bitter and tart with sourdough bread and faint notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, clove and dust. The finish was medium length dry spices. Medium body. Ok.

Big thanks to my son in law nate for this brew. Smells a little alky, like old lager. A little pumpkin and spice on the taste buds but tastes moslty like other shock tops. Background with a little orange and wheat, very little pumpkin.

Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy orange copper with a small frothy off white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is cinnamon and spice. Thin mouthfeel with a clove and nutmeg flavor. Not much going on with this one.

sample from bottle at Brew Haven fest - Okay, I admit it. This sample was for the ratings whore in me. It pours very cloudy straw colored and smells of raspberry. The flavor is sweet, rather artificial tasting raspberries with some wheat distinguishable in this light bodied beer. I can drink it, but it’s mediocre.

Crisp, very slightly hazy copper coloured body with a thin, fast-dying off-white head. Aroma of light wheat, some light pumpkin pie spice, a touch of allspice and a very small amount of squash. Medium-bodied; Some body from the squash is actually noticeable, a touch of wheat, a little yeast and yes, even some light spices come out in the initial tastes. Aftertaste is a bit less defined with some light wheat tastes, a bit of an earthy roundedness and a light touch of spices at the tail end. Overall, not as bad as I thought it would be, and quite simply, not the worst pumpkin beer i’ve had - that said, it doesn’t have nearly enough flavour or complexity to be one of the better beers for the time. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased at Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 04-September-2011 for US$1.15 sampled at home in Washington on 19-September-2011.
