Shock Top brew masters just released their second limited edition beer for 2014, the Shock Top Spiced Banana Wheat, a Belgian-style unfiltered wheat ale with a sweet banana aroma, subtle hopping and a smooth, creamy caramel finish for a full flavor experience.

This limited edition brew will be available on draught at beer festivals, Shock Top special events and for a limited time at select retail locations.

If you are going to celebrate Banana Lover’s Day on the 27th then why not pick up the Shock Top Spiced Banana Wheat. Like I stated earlier it is a limited edition festival beer brewed with wheat, citrus peels, honey, spice and banana with a light golden color and 5.5 percent alcohol by volume (ABV). Shock Top Spiced Banana Wheat is a limited edition beer only available on draught at beer festivals, Shock Top special events and for a limited time at select retail locations.

So make sure you pick up some soon or you will miss out! Cheers!
