Belgian White, our spiced, Belgian-style wheat ale, is the pinnacle of refreshment. Brewed with real orange, lemon and lime peels for a smooth, citrusy finish, it’s the beer that’s always down to chill and be chilled!

Valemount 21/7 2018. 34,1 cl bottle from Jasper Wine Merchants. Weird Citrus Fellow with sunglasses and a Mohawk on the label.
Pours hazy, opaque pale yellow with a medium-sized white head. Settles as a thin almost transparent layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. Clinging to the side of the glass. Very moderate lacing.
Aroma is pretty weak. Citrus, Wheat, slightly decayed oranges. Sour, tangy.
Pretty strong carbonation. Thin, watery, lively texture.
Flavor is moderately sweet followed by medium sour bitterness. Aftertaste is lightly sour. Very short.
Generic Witbier that is forgotten pretty quickly. Cool label though.

Look: Hazy light amber with a medium white head that has marginal retention.
Smell: Light sweet wheat.
Taste: Very disappointing. Follows the nose but with a weird, unpleasant orange that resembles the watered down discount dish soap from your Grandmother’s kitchen.
Feel: Poor: Low in the mouth and thin.
Overall: Was thinking that this would be a solid budget beer like Blue Moon. Needless to say, it did not live up to my expectations and I won’t be trying this particular Shock Top brew again.

It's fine. I was afraid it would be some ultra-tart citrus bomb but it's really not.

This is possibly the worst beer I have ever had. I bought it because it was BOGO free at Publix in Sarasota. I will drink it if it is free, and I have no money to buy anything else. It actually has the words "citrus peels and coriander" written on the label. Someone needs to sue them.

Literally just middle of the road, a little bit overpriced for what it is to be honest. If I want to spend the money i would on this Id spend it on an import or more macrobrews. Not bad by any means, in fact I quite enjoyed it. But it's just... beer.

Had this one recently out of a bottle. Smells like orange ale. I take a sip and, wow that is sweet. If you’ve never had Blue Moon, this is what Blue Moon was competing with. To compare it to that, Blue Moon has more of an ale flavor. This one has way more orange. Seriously. It’s aggressively orange. I’m taking sips of this and I’m enjoying it a lot. I feel a bit ashamed that it’s so enjoyable. Heavy citrus and a thin layer of light malts. A hint of that ale warmth, neutral carbonation. A little syrupy, but it’s smooth and goes down nice. I think I like this more than Blue Moon, but I’d have to try Blue Moon again. Yummy.
