Beer Review - Shock Top Beer


Usually I don't buy American (especially cars, rot in hell Ford) but I thought I would make an exception to this one. It was on special and in this time of financial upheaval and uncertainty (especially the soon to be devastating Cap and Trade and ObamaCare on the horizon) it's time to start being fiscally conservative. Sorry, I promised no politics but that seriously pisses me off, besides, John-O never visits this site anyways. I was drawn by this beer because I've never seen it before and I can only review Leinenkugals for so long. The bottle is pretty slick and the color was decent, and I like Belgium style wheat beers. Jeanne Claude Van Damme is from Belgium and he's teh tits, so I thought I would give this a shot.

Company: Anaheuser-Busch outta St. Louis, Missouri.

The Bottle: Pretty slick with a orange slice with a cool pair of shades gracing the cover.

The Color: Golden and cloudy.

Suggested Pouring Technique: The traditional side pour, then rock the bottle back and forth to pour to 1) get good head (giggidy) and 2) get all the yeast.

Suggested Glass: Wide-mouthed (giggidy-giggidy). To allow the fumes errr flavor out.

Taste: Meh, not bad for American but no where near the big dogs. In other words, it can't pee in the tall grass with Bass, Guinness, etc. It's like your expecting California but getting Minnesota, or something like that.

Aftertaste: None, really. Just don't have chocolate ice cream with it. Hey, my wife's pregnant, she's got weird tastes.

Good Tip: Slap an orange slice or two into it, helps with the flavor.

Hangover Factor: Probably won't find out since my tolerance is so high W.C. Fields is impressed. God rest his drunk, smutty soul.

Beer Blog Rating: 2 out of 4 bottles.

Porno Actress Equivalent: Jenna Jameson, your expecting a lot but getting little in return.

Overall: For the price it isn't bad. I paid $6 for a six pack, it's usually $7.50. But I probably won't buy it again.
