Style | ABV
American Pale Wheat Ale |  5.80% ABV

Availability: Year-round. bottle (93), on-tap (12). 

Notes:
Shock Top Wheat IPA is no traditional beer. It’s a unique hybrid that combines the fresh flavor and smoothness of wheat beer with the crisp hop bitterness of an IPA. The result is a beer that is truly like no other.

To serve, pour down the side of the glass until a half inch is left in the bottle. Swirl the remaining brew and pour to produce a rich, thick collar of foam that releases the citrusy Cascade hop aroma.

look: 4 | smell: 2.25 | taste: 2.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3

A - Pours a deep copper with a two finger slightly off white head. Leaves no lacing.

S - Small amounts of wheat and lemon zest followed by traces of malt.

T - Predominantly wheaty up front, followed by a small amount of lemon and a small amount of orange in the finish.

M - Medium bodied with medium carbonation.

o - Overall, I don't think this is an IPA. It would fare better in the Wheat Ale category.

I don't understand how this beer is being so bashed. I suppose naming it an IPA is a bit misleading, however, name aside, it's a great tasting spring and summer brew. Very easy to drink and drink and drink. One of my all time favorites and unfortunately, it's no longer kegged by AB.

Appearance: Cloudy; orangish/amber; big frothy head, long lasting, good lacing

Aroma: Very faint hops; not much aroma at all; what little there is is citrusy

Taste: Wow, not much flavor at all; pretty thin and watery overall; no complexity and hardly any flavor; extremely disapppointing

Remarks: Did not score A, T, S, M at that time; disregard those scores

I was disappointed with this beer as I thought it would be better. It is way overhopped and lacking in maltiness. It is almost flavorless if you put aside the hop taste. It has a poor color and almost no mouth. The head seems to just disappear as soon as it was poured. I did not detect any wheat aroma at all and wonder if they used any wheat malt when brewing this beer.

Very light, very little hop flavor. This should not be considered an IPA by any means. Pathetic head with nonexistent lacing. Other than that, really not a bad beer. Nice color, easy drinking smooth taste. If they could add some more carbonation and call this just a wheat ale instead of a wheat IPA I would have much more respect for this brew.
