I rebel against this beer by prizing off the twist-off cap with a corkscrew. It gives off a full white head that gradually dissipates as I read the label: Shock Top Honey Bourbon Cask Wheat. What is that, a laundry list? Regardless, those crazies at Shock Top have once more brewed a beer that sounds really interesting. I should've learned after the Midnight Wheat; fortunately the world did not in fact end that December.
It smells like honey. Like, from inside of a plastic squeeze bear, but it's unmistakable. There's vanilla as well. It's maybe not subtle, but it's definitely not wrong.
It doesn't taste very good though. It's sort of thinnish seltzer water with honey and vanilla extract stirred in. There's maybe a slight off-flavor that might be the "bourbon cask staves" (a totally plebeian way to age beer) The after taste is the same cheap honey from the smell. It just doesn't taste good.
Even for the money, there's plenty of other beers I'd rather drink.
