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.

Refrigerated bottle poured into a weizen glass. Pours hazy golden with small bright white head that dissapates fairly quickly. Pretty good lacing, low carbonation, medium body, raspberry aroma, and syrupy texture. Taste is medicinal rapberry syrup and finishes light wheat. Not interested in having again.

Hazy yellow appearance, small whitish foamy head, moldy flavor, mild carbonation, sweetish taste, abrupt finish. Not a very good witbier.

Cloudy yellow, modest head. Pleasing raspberry nose, which was a big surprise. Flavor hints at raspberry candy, kinda fake raspberry, wheaty, a touch bland. Balanced, medium to lightish body.

New at the LCBO for the summer 2011, in cans. A witbier that is not only made with coriander and orange zest, but with lemon and lime zest as well. I guess it is imported by Labatt here in Canada, as it says by them on the LCBO site. Pours a hazy golden colour with a big frothy white head that lasts a while and creates decent lace. A light orange hue is seen. Mild citrus nose with hints of wheat. Again, mild orange flavour with not much bite. Refreshing overall, but lacking the spices and kick I was expecting from a real witbier.

Bottle as shown. Pours a hazy orange gold with a small white head that quickly diminishes to nothing. The aroma is tart and rasberry. Thin mouthfeel and a bit watery with a medice rasberry and tart. Not much going on with this one.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a pale, hazy yellow with a fair white head. The aroma is wheat and a strong nose of raspberries. The flavor is tart, and sweet in the finish. The palate is light to medium, a little acidic, and sticky and medicinal in the finish. Overall, a very forward and abrupt fruit beer, but delicious.

A piss-poor Blue Moon clone. And I mean that. I would prefer Blue Moon over this AB swill any day. Pours fizzy and thin, smells like burnt hair, tastes like seltzer water served in a still-soapy bar glass. Helps reinforce the AB corporate motto: "Like Beer? We Don’t." (5/29/08)

From a bottle. Has a very nice mild real raspberry aroma, smells good and appetizing. Cloudy hazy yellow with yeast on the bottom of the bottle. Taste is Ok but about average for a fruit beer. Unfortunately none of the pleasant sweetness of the aroma carries over to the taste. Basic dull fruit flavors cover up the wheat or belgie white attributes. Overall beer experience is Ok. Decent amount of sizzly co2 on the beginning of each swig but immediately goes almost flat while in the mouth. Finsh lacks any real bitterness and I like that. Goes down fairly easy but in my humble opinion that raspberry flavoring prevents this from being a good session brew.

Tap at the Lufthansa lounge in Dulles airport. Light fruity aroma. Milky yellow, white head. Light banana and orange peel, very restrained. Spakly and foamy mouthfeel. Nothing special.

Weak raspberry aroma. Cloudy amber, thick head. Flavor is cloying sugar water with rasberry on the back end. Very much like soda pop with cane sugar. I’m among the few I know with a favorable opinion of shock top, but this version isn’t very good.
