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.

355ml bottle. Cloudy, orangey golden colour with average, frothy, rapidly diminishing, white head. Quite expressionless aroma, cautious hints of orange zest on rather neutral wheaty basis. Flabby taste, minimally bitter hints of orange zest. Not much freshness, no spiciness - inadequate.

Bottle: Hazy, light yellow-gold with a white head. Aroma is like Sprite....lemon/lime. Taste is about the same with a touch of wheat malt. Not a bad flavour, but definitely more alco-pop than wit.

Pours clear golden with a thick white head. Harsh malt aroma. Tastes like a wheat ale with heavy coriander influences. Palate is dominated by the coriander, not much else to speak of. Not bad.

Draft at Mad Dogs, San Antonio, TX, USA. Pours hazy, lemony gold, with some persistent white foam. Aroma is lemony, spiced. Body is light, with moderate carbonation. Taste is fairly sweet. Finish is kind of short.

Bottle, different label. Good orange nose. Yes, pretty color, sunset orange fer sher. Some weird fruit flavor along with other spices and such. Yes, taste is almost orange, if that. Blood orange I guess? Does seem to have some alky added, but its not over the top, heheh, shock top. Finish is somewhat difficult yeasty backbone and medicine. Not impressed, was expecting something a little different and more civilized.

Ugh, very unpleasant. imagine taking about 400 lbs of grated orange zest and adding it to a keg of otherwise unassuming wheat beer. That's about what this is: a boring wheat beer that is overwhelming perfumed with orange zest. Weird aroma, worse flavor, borderline undrinkable.

Bottle @ home. Unclear hazy pale yellow color, average sized white head that diminishes quickly. Smell and taste wheat, a bit sweet and dusty. Hmm not much more to tell. Average body and carbonation. Meh.

Bottle. Lemon-lime soda, light malt, and straw aroma. Hazy golden yellow with small head. Moderately sweet lemon-lime, light malt, and very mildly bitter straw flavor. Light body. This is nearly spot-on to many German Radlers (or a Russ to be more accurate) - not very witbier-like.
