Loved this Beer! It has a sweet apple taste that is to die for. It is different from most beers with its lively fruitful taste with just a hint of Wheat. The Aroma is just as lovely as the taste.

Pours a cloudy and hazy Apple Cider/Yellow color. Small White head that only lasts for a few seconds. Aroma is of a strong Apple scent. Little to no carbonation. Taste is of Sour Apple. A little light and watery, with a tart aftertaste. Not bad on a hot day. A good beer made by Shock Top. Would probably have given this one an even higher rating if there was some carbonation in it though, because tastes more like a wine cooler than a beer without the carbonation, but it’s still good!!

Had it on tap at Loafers in Chicago, poured a cloudy yellow color, with a medium head and no lacing. The aroma had an apple fruity smell, and the taste was very sweet. Good on a summer day!

12 oz bottle available in grocery stores all across America. Why do I feel the need to buy the newest Shock Top beers whenever they show up? Morbid curiosity, maybe? Pours cloudy orange-yellow with a quickly collapsing white head. Aroma is predominantly cider with a bit of wheat in the background, with floral perfumey notes and maybe some Off mosquito repellant--or maybe this beer conjures up summertime memories for whatever reason. Tastes like a cider but has the mouthfeel of a wheat beer. This is pretty odd. I can’t say it tastes bad, because it doesn’t. There is a slight chemical off-note that isn’t too distracting, really. Mouthfeel is creamy like a nice wheat beer. Not bad for a Shock Top, but I still feel a little lame drinking this.

Finhead (914) - OFallon, Illinois, USA - APR 3, 2013
Hazy, yellow-gold pour with a white head. The aroma is very fruity with the smell of freshly sliced apples dominating. It has a light body with a slightly sticky texture and lively carbonation. The taste is sweet and crisp, but with an obvious cider quality. This is an interesting brew and worth a try.

Bottle. A curious blend of apple cider and wheat beer. Not quite a sweet as a pure hard cider. Overall quite refrehing! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Aurelius (3444) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - FEB 19, 2013
Fresh, sweet apple aroma - somehow reminds me of childhood. The usual overwrought Shock Top label, but with little apples. Foggy gold. Twistoff bottle. Crisp, apple peel/core flavor, acidic and with zippy carbo. Sweet enouh without getting clingy. Tangy aftertaste. More appealing (get it) than most ciders. ABC, Betton.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a slightly hazy dark yellow colored body. The aroma was green apple. The crisp mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The fizzy flavor contained notes of green apples. A decent one that I would consider drinking again.
