Beer: Twisted Pretzel Wheat
Brewer: Shock Top Brewing Co (Anheuser-Busch)
Source: 12 oz. bottle
Rating: ** (6.9 of 10)
Comments: I’ve not enjoyed Shock Top beers (a craft-style wing of Anheuser-Busch) in the past but a friend highly recommends this beer so I thought I’d give it a try when I saw it at the store. The beer does what it says on the label – it smells and tastes like a fresh-baked pretzel, with hints of salted caramel sweetness. It’s a chestnut-brown, cloudy wheat beer with a foamy head. The head evaporates quickly and leaves no lacing. The mouthfeel is thin. It’s a quality a novelty beer.
