Shock Top Belgian White

Brewed by Anheuser-Busch InBev
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
St. Louis, Missouri USA

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.

The aroma is bready, with lemon, orange, and a little bit of spice. The spritzy white head looks weak. The tase is orangy lemon, with a wheat like finish. Not very distincitve, and a lazy example of the style.

Aroma was floral and citrusy. Inital flavor is of wheat and citrus but it diminishes quickly and little carries through to the aftertaste. Pours a pale yellow slightly muddy color. A little different and surprisingly good.

Yeasty aroma has a decided citrus overtone, mainly orange. It comes out of the bottle a hazy golden with not much white head. Flavor is wheaty and has a firm undertone of lemon and orange. Texture is fairly smooth and just slightly fizzy. Nothing spectacular, but worth a try.

Pours Gold orange and cloudy. Short White head with no lace. Aroma Strong citrus orange and a medium wheat. Kind of flat tasting. good mouth feel nice amount of carbonation going down. Nothing notable in the after taste other than water.

On tap at the jet Rock Bar at the PHL airport, in lieu of Hoegaarden. Not bad, but then again, not the nuances of flavour of a yeasty Hoegaarden.

Had this on tap at Hard Rock Cafe Sacramento. I was surprised to find it was made by AB. This was a pretty good beer! Maybe InBev was the best thing to happen to AB. Bartender floated an orange in it to bring out a more hefe quality. Not bad, InBev!
