From the 12 fl oz. bottle marked 12019-BG22. Sampled on June 27, 2012. It pours a slightly hazy amber orange with a small head that becomes a ring for the remainder of the session. The aromas bring out the wheat, citrus zest, and the spiciness of coriander. The body is light but creamy. The taste falls down a bit after the nice aroma but it is still a wheat-filled, lemony flavor with moderate bitterness at the finale. Not a bad job by Shock Top.

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.
