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.

I had this after ordered this simply because I had never tried it before. Needless to say it left me regretting this decision when the bar had better IPA's in bottles. For a wheat "IPA" it really lacked that hoppy goodness I look for, in both taste and smell. It was a decent refreshing beer, but I won't be buying another.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Less than a finger of head. Color was a hazy mix or orange, caramel and iced tea. Light layer of lacing on the top that disappeared rather quickly. No film on the sides.
Hardly got anything on the smell. Got very light grapefruit hop notes, but that’s it.
Wow on the taste. Shock Top doesn’t fuck around. It was about what I expected it to be, a stronger version of the normal Shock Top (white). Lemon citrus hops, but light.
Medium body. Oily texture. Average carbonation. Abrupt, but clean, refreshing and crisp finish.
About as good as expected with a Shock Top.
