Shock Top or Blue Moon

General Beer Discussion by SLOWRUNNER77

I find these two so similar as to beg for this question. I've had 14 Blue Moon's to 7 Shock Tops. Which do you prefer? For me Blue Moon ranges from a 2.2 to a 3.2 (the Grand Cru and BPA are best) & has a 2.68 average Shock Top ranges from a 2.0 (Wheat IPA) to a 3.3 (Apple) & has a 2.72 average. Kind of a toss up, but I do think the Honeycrisp Apple from Shock Top is the best of the bunch (though the Wheat IPA is the worst) so I'll give the "victory" to them [:)]

I've had a few more Blue Moon's than Shock Top's, so from my memory I'd say Blue Moon.

So tell me Hoegaarrden are you? Probably have to choose regular Blue Moon of the two though..... Both are not worthy.

I am not a fan of wits. Overall, Blue Moon is a little better. Ten Blue Moons - Grand Cru was the the only one I really liked. Seven Shock Tops - The fruit flavored ones all had a fake flavoring to me, but that is common to A-B beers.

I guess I prefer a Blue Moon if I have to choose between the two; rated Blue Moon 3.2 to Shock Top's 2.7 with the following comment: Shock Top - "Sort of like a Blue Moon in every respect... just not as good for some reason. The requisite coriander, orange, spice and yeast/malt are all there, and not even hatefully balanced - or unbalanced - just not the right proportions or something... can't quite put my finger on it.

Wasn't this posted once before? Somehow I remember someone saying "At $120, the shipping better be free!"
