Shock Top Pumpkin Wheat:
Greetings friends and welcome back for our most current review in which we look at a summer/fall beer hyrbid.  How is this possible you ask?  Simple, it’s a pumpkin wheat beer by Shock Top- a wheat beer brewery- and by combining a summer style wheat beer with the flavors of a pumpkin ale you get…wait for it…a Pumpkin Ale!  Amazing, I know!  So how does it taste?  Well, it pours nicely with a nice golden haze with a very minimal head that is stark white and not long for this world and a nose that is reminiscent of smelling a pumpkin pie from far across a home on a Thanksgiving morn- in plain English: it’s a weak smell.  The taste is very flat, but not in carbonation which is there with abundance, but seriously the wheat keeps down what tastes what could be a rich pumpkin ale by masking it’s more prominent tastes with the wheat.  Not much of  a beer in the after taste department which may appeal to people who are seeking a beer that doesn’t offend the palate but really, I want a beer that sticks with me during consumption.  Not a bad beer but not in my wheelhouse for it’s combo of flavors.
