if only life were all beer and skittles

I'm a brand new beer enthusiast, so bear with me as I slowly start to dabble into this whole new world. 

On a whim a friend of mine bought the Shock-Top Belgian White, bottled by Anheuser-Busch Inc. 

The beer is light with floral and citrus notes that give an extremely clean finish. If you look hard you'll get a taste of the "spices" (I'm assuming it is coriander because they seem to always put coriander in white ales). It's cloudy with an orange tint that's nice to look at when poured into a frozen glass. This beer is great on its own, especially because the citric flavor is juxtaposed with a slight sweetness that it's really accessible to those that don't like heavy beers. It's also not too carbonated, which is my favorite part. It's not as good as Blue Moon's but with a slice of orange it's great for a warm sunny day (if that ever happens) 

For only $6 at the Joe's Liquors in New Brunswick, this is quite the bargain. At 168 calories, the 5.20% ABV also helps, because my biggest problem with beer is having to drink several of them to to get me in my party pants mood.
