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.

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.

Bottle @ home. Hazy, reddish orange appearance with a small tan head. Nutmeg, vanilla, cinnamon, moderately spicy, slightly toasty, wheat malty nose. Wheat malty flavor with a ton of spices- cinnamon and nutmeg, especially. Bleh.

ALright colour, pours with a decent head but there really isn’t much substance after that. If only Anheuser spent a little less on marketing and a little more on brewing... step away from the mediocre. tall can in Toronto

Can: Poured a slightly hazy light orangey color ale with a nice foamy head with OK retention and some light lacing. Aroma of coriander and orange peel is more pronounced then I had expected and quite nice. Taste is a refreshing mix with loads of orange peel notes with light wheat malt base. Body is light for style with good carbonation. Better then expected though malt base is too thin and watery and coriander is overshadowed by orange peel notes.

12oz bottle from Pick’s poured into a lager glass. Pours a nice cloudy orange color with about 1 finger of off-white head. Aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and pumpkin. Taste is lightly sweet. Taste of cinnamon and pumpkin. Light bodied with a thick texture. Lively carbonation but not much of a finish. Overall, it’s pretty damn good. Much better than I was expecting from the Shock Top brand.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma is a light pumpkin and some spice. Flavor has a more pronounced pumpkin with a spicy finish. Not a bad beer. Pumpkin and spice are there but not over the top as some beers

12 oz can purchased somewhere in Lake Okoboji, Iowa. Pour is a hazed yellow golden with a pure white one inch head that falls with loose bubbles. Aroma is softly sweet citrus spice, along with a sort of dull wheat malt character. The sweetness has a bit of "smarties" candies to it. The taste simple sweet citrus spice, with a clean light wheat body. The orange peel citrus comes out some as it warms. The yeast is subdued. The palate is light to almost watery, though it has a decent mouthfeel. Overall, its clean and refreshing though perhaps a bit simple for my liking in a Wit.
