Shock Top Belgian White Beer Review

Shock Top Belgian White
Belgian White [Type 4] 5.2% ABV
The key descriptors for a Belgian white are light and refreshing. This beer is both. It has a strong orange flavor, created by using orange rinds during the brewing process. Cloudy, with a nice white head on the pour. Orange color (fitting). Sweet on the front of the tongue. Nice spices, not overwhelming, just enough to let you know they are there. The spices give the beer a nice finish.

This is a great summer beer. I've been very happy drinking this beer recently when I felt like I was in a beer rut. I love drinking seasonal beer, it allows me to exercise my palate and keep my beer drinking from settling down into monotony. Shock Top seems to be expanding their market recently. I find it newly on tap more and more often. Good for them.

If someone without "inside beer" knowledge reads your review, they could not help but assume this beer was brewed in Belgium, which of course it was NOT!
How about adding a hyphenated "beligan-style" when appropriate?
I'm not sure I could really help anyone who thinks Shock Top is imported from Belgium, hyphen or not.
Denial...
Very Weak.
