Shock Top Belgian White

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

The anti-Marco contingent would tell you this is just what they expected from A-B, but that’s just a load of crap. Beer pours into a very attractive orange hue version of a standard white, partial sediment visible. Head died quickly. First sip was somewhat lacking the orange / citrus I was promised by the name sake. Very easy drinking, with a somewhat reserved but constant citrus aftertaste. Certainly worth a try. Unlikely to be anyone’s favorite, but more than suitable for a six pack on the lake.

Pours a hazy light tan/gold color. Flavor is of yeast, cereal, and orange. In fact, I think the bartender put a splash of orange juice in it. Not that freat of a beer. On tap.

Foul aroma and watery color with fizzy diminishing white head but the taste of the attempt at a witbier is not as bad as the haters would describe it. light, sweet, and refreshing. I’ve had more expensive and pretentious brewers come up with worse Wits. Not horrible.

12 ounce bottle- I didn’t know this was an AB product until afer I drank it, then my reaction was "Oh, that explains it". Poured a cloudy cider yellow with no head to speak of, yeasty, doughy aroma. Almost no discernable taste at all, maybe alcohol with a hint of TANG breakfast drink? Well below average, skip it.

12 oz bottle from Bonita Liquor. I picked this up only because I was interested on how budwater would make a Belgian white. Well, their attempt failed miserably and tasted exactly like a Budweiser but with a speck of coriander added to it. Appearance was a glowing whitish yellow and had a short life of head. The aroma was the only factor to impress me with its coriander and orange peel scent. However, the flavor was a minimum amount of those ingredients and taste like an ordinary Bud which kept bothering me throughout the rest of the drink. Poor attempt and they shouldn’t be wasting any precious ingredients to make this crap any more.

Typical Belgiun White, and not a bad one at that. Nice citrus aroma and taste. I can’t drink too many of this style, but tastes good on a hot day.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy golden yellow with a decent white foamy head. Aroma is of fruit/citrus and wheat. Taste is of citrus, wheat, spice and is kind of sweet. Very smooth and clean tasting. Overall, this beer wasn’t half bad and I am kind of surprised that A-B makes it. On a side note I would recommend following the pouring instructions on the bottle.

On tap, pours a golden body with white head. Fruity malt aroma. Light-bodied but decently well-balanced. Flavors of malt, citrus, yeast, and spice. Clean finish.
