Shock Top Belgian White

Just pretend it’s a really good fruity summer beverage and not beer and you’ll love it. You’ll have to take off the beer snob hat (if you have one of those) and try this on a hot summer day during a cookout.

The truth be told, this beer was marketed so aggressively this summer and was priced so reasonably that I had no alternative but to buy a 6-pack and give it a try. The beer did pour light, but unlike most witbiers I have tried there was little to no sediment in the glass. Also the aroma was so distinctively lemonade that I was left wondering what to expect. The taste was thin and watery, but refreshing none the less. The finish was also weak and cheap tasting. I am sure this beer would go well with food, but on it’s own doesn’t have the legs to stand. This beer is designed to be a microbrew, but it is still a michelob.

Reasonable wheat beer, aroma is light citrus and spice, mainly lemon citrus. Flavour is an estery driven wheat beer with the citrus slight bitterness coming through. There is some slight untidiness in this too, the estery element is quite off putting.

bottle. pretty standard belgian ale (similar to Blue Moon) - one thing i noticed was a ginger hints. decent.

Botte. Pours a hazy orange color with a large white head. Orange and yeast flavors. Decent finish that doesn’t linger too long.

very fruity flavor with a lot of oranges included, not really my idea of a great beer but maybe good for a hot summer day. I agree this beer is not as good as blue moon

Draught at Gios. Hazy orange with a big white head. Orange and dirty yeast aroma. Lots of orange in the flavor, with a slight wheaty graininess. Weird medicinal orange peel bitterness in the finish. Light body with ample carbonation. This is a bit unpleasant in the finish. I have to say it: not nearly as good as blue moon.

Basically a Blue Moon clone. I didnt know it was a Busch product until I read it here. Had it on tap at Miller Ale house in Philly. Would I recommend it..... meh
