Shock Top Belgian White

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

12 oz. try at neighbor’s party. Poured to a fest glass that I happened to bring along a cloudy orange with a modest, diminishing, white, bubbly foamed head and small spots of lacing. The aroma was slight malt, yeast and soft grain, with some slight spice, and fruit as orange and apricot. The flavor mimicked the nose with the beer presenting a thin body, watery texture, and low carbonation. Okay effort, but didn’t feel compelled to have another bottle.

Bottled, poured into a hefe glass. Yellow mostly, with a touch of orange and a decent head. The flavor was a little too sweet for the style in my opinion, but overall pretty pleasant, if a little acidic. All around a decent representation of the style, and definitely worth a taste!

Bottle. Aromas of straw, orange and medicine permeate. Head is small, frothy, white with no lacing and is almost fully diminishing. Flavor starts lightly sweet and moderatley acidic, then finishes lightly acidic. Palate is light to medium, watery with a fizzy carbonation. A very light beer even for a Witbier, but it does have a few wheat ale essences.

Citrus aroma with a fruity and bread taste. Overall not too bad. Light and easy to drink; however, seemed kind of rough around the edges.

Bottle: After drinking it I found out it is from AB, so no preconception. Starts strong nice malty and citrus aroma and taste, finish is flat. But glad to see this innovation and creativity. Foods Pairing: Ceviche.

I’ve been avoiding this beer ever since I saw it. I was afraid I would like it and have to support the BMC juggernauts. Well this was offered to me free so I couldn’t refuse. It looks good outta the gate. Nice orange color with 2 inch head. The smell was very fruity dominated by orange citrus. The taste wasn’t that bad ( S#%T!) I knew it. Fruity wheat beers just get me. I could see poundin a few of these but I won’t allow myself to be tempted by the evil AB empire.

Light coriander and cracker flavors dominate; that is to say not very flavorful. Some citrus (I suppose it would be orange but it didn’t taste particularly orangey) and yeast in the aftertaste. Nice crispness. Body is light.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Light peachy fruity hops aroma. Ild spiced and hops fruity flavoured. Bitter and mild fruity flavoured. Dry, bitter and slight cornish finish.
