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.

Bottled. An unclear dark golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is hoppy, lending it citrus notes on a lightly malty and caramel finish. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, citrus, and some spices, leading to a dry wheaty finish.

Overall Impression: These Bud specialties all sound better then they are. Another crappy attempt a micro-brew, this time it's a boring White, but everyone of these attempts turns out the same way, boring version of the beer they attempted.

Free sample at whole goods. Pours a hazy slight yellow with hardly any head. Aroma of citrus and wheat. Taste is wheaty with very light citrus notes and coriander. Thin, fizzy and watery mouthfeel.

Pours hazy yellow into a shaker. Bright white head recedes at a medium pace and tightly hugs rim. Wheat and orange aromas. Mild sour wheat from front to back.

Draught at Old Dominion Brewhouse, Washington DC
Cloudy blond color. Light aroma. Not much wheat character, sweetish. Very simple but drinkable.

Shared a couple of beer towers of this with friends at Old Dominion Brew Pub in DC. Hazy orange with a fizzy, foamy white head. Looks like slightly carbonated orange juice. Aroma is fairly generic, slightly metallic, with a hint of oranges. Flavor is equally generic, oranges, maybe a little spice, more metal. Finish is thin and watery. A poor attempt at a Hef aimed at the lowest common denominator. Then again, it was either this or Heineken so it was an easy choice.
