Shock Top Belgian White

Tasted somewhere along my trip through the States.
Orange colored brew. Artificial flavors. Mass production kills beer.

2008 Bottle - Pours light orance with a small white head, aroma is bread and citrus, slight spice...flavour follows, totally bogus flavour, but not nearly as offensive as some of the other AB abominations, heavy on the orange, light on the yeast and spice, but close your eyes when pouring and don’t expect much, wasn’t as bad as I expected (still sucks)...

Hazy and bright brutn orange coloring, with a small fizzy white head. Very generic on the palate, with loads of palate killing coriander, and thas is pretty much all you taste throughout is orange peel and grainy, metallic cereal maltiness.

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.

yet another example of anheuser trying to trick the public into thinking they are drinking a microbrew. starts ok with some thin citrus and spice flavor. but the aftertaste is that same cheap artifical flavor of a lot of their beers. and the overall flavor is weak. in the end, its the same old story here-its an ok product, but there are better versions on the market. why is AB so scared of bold flavors?

12 oz bottle available just about anywhere. Pours a light orange with a thin white head. Yeast sediment is visible. Aroma and flavor have orange and spice, with a very creamy palate and finish. Very refreshing.

Pours a cloudy yellow with a huge thick white head. Very little aroma; perhaps some spice and citrus. Very smooth unassertive but balanced taste. I get sweet wheat malt, yeast, citrus juice, and spices like coriander. Not very interesting but very inoffensive. A real thirstquencher.

Pours a hazy golden color with a large white head. Aroma of wheat, citrus, spices and yeast. Flavor is wheat, spices, artificial citrus. Decent shot at a blue moon clone, but that’s not saying much. Not bad, but not that good either.
