Shock Top - Honey Bourbon Cask Wheat

This is another interesting beer from Shock Top who is based out of St. Louis, MO. They are known for their flavor / fruit style brews as I put it. They all most always have some fruit on the bottle which is in the beer. You either like it or not as I have come to find. 

Style: Bourbon Cask Wheat
Taste: Strong honey notes
Color: Hazy Gold
Aromatics: Strong Honey and Wheat notes
Rating: 6 out of 10 beer glasses
Alcohol Content:   5.5 ABV
IBU’s if known:
Plato if known:
Honey Bourbon Cask Wheat

This is not a beer for everyone because of the heavy honey notes and flavor. I did not pickup the bourbon as strong but its there. I would however put this in the section beer category for those who do end up liking it. Its more of a late summer brew to me. I think it has an ok month feel with a tiny after taste. So until the next pint, happy tasting :)
