Shock Top Belgian White

Pours a cloudy orange/yellow. Taste is orangy with hints of spice. A refreshing belgian white but not very distinct. The flavor quickly disappears and does not impress. A decent belgian white beer.

Tasting at a beerfest [Disclaimer: This was tasted along with many, many other beers during a tasting at Julios. Some of the details are a little hazy]. Reminds me of Blue Moon but maybe not as good.

Everyone knocks this because it’s an A-B product, but it’s really not that bad. Has decent taste and flavor, but is way too thin. Blue Moon is definitely better, but I’ve had worse Witbiers than this. LC

Tasted at the distributer. Pale color, faint aroma. Very bland, understated version of a Belgian White - apparently targeted to the mass market who think they look cool drinking a "microbrew." Luckilly it was a free taste and I didn’t buy any.

Orange pour. Aroma is fruity with a hint of corn. The flavor is fairly balanced, with hints of coriander and orange. Very effervescnet. Clean and refreshing. Not a bad wit for inbev. Affordable and easy to find as well. Slightly better than Blue Moon IMO.

Pour from a 12 oz bottle. I read and followed the pouring directions on the bottle neck - what was that all about? Pale cloudy yellow, pleasant but rather faint aroma of grain, yeast, a hint of spice. Flavor is kind of lacking – a little bitterness, a touch of yeast, a little orange zest, a passing glance of spice. Not much of a finish at all. Thin mouthfeel with lively carbonation. I like a lot of Michelob’s specialty brews, but this is not the strongest offering.

Draught. Appearance is a light hazy golden with a small off-white head. Aroma is light .. a hint of wheat and spice. Flavor is pretty much the same. Watered down wheat flavor with a very slight hint of citrus and spice. About the only positive of this one is it is fairly refreshing, but not much else makes it worthy of a second chance.
