Jan 28, 2007 2006 22 oz. bottle from my Secret Santa - Pours a hazy amber color with a thin off white head. Very soft carbonation. Has a light fruit (plum) aroma. Flavor is also slightly fruity with some noticeable bitterness. Has a thin palate. Light to medium body. Decent beer. Worth a try. Thanks Andy.

Jan 19, 2007 Bottle ala Jeff. Amber color with a few white bubbles. Lots of malt and fruit in the aroma. Plums and wheat dominate. Flavors match the nose, with some mild spice and vanilla oak also in the mix. A touch too sweet.

Jan 15, 2007 On tap, mohagany in color with a thin white head. A hoppy aroma with some fruit elements to it. Flavor was fruity and sweet but not over powering hops were present in the aftertaste. The alcohol seemed to be well hidden.

Jan 15, 2007 Updated: Apr 8, 2007Clear copper pour, mostly diminishing white head. Wonderfully rich aroma of tropical fruits, light alcohol, citrusy hops. The citrus nose is very complex, revealing notes of apricot nectar, peaches, tangerines, pineapple, kiwi and grapefruit with sugar on it. Cheesy malt aroma, cedar woodiness very prevalent. Palate is spritzy and mildly spicy. Far more hops in the flavor than the aroma would indicate. Bitterness is pleasing though a little over the top. The wheat taste is nice but doesn’t blend well at all with the looming hops; maybe this one needs a long slumber in the cellar. Dry finish of medium length. Not the quaffability I expect from Smuttynose.

Jan 14, 2007 Thanks to Andrew for sharing this one. Cloudy, golden to orangish color. Aroma was of citrus. Taste was slightly sweet. The wheat adds a smoothness. The beer was interesting but not overly complex. Slightly alcoholic and one dimensional.

Jan 12, 2007 Amber body with a smallish head, good lacing and retention though. Aroma is fruity with caramel. Light grapefruity hops. Some stickiness, but nothing overbearing either. Wheaty notes are there, but not obvious, brings out a vanilla character. Fairly sweet finish with some alcohol, but would have guessed 11%. Enjoyable, but I was hoping for better.

Jan 11, 2007 Ruby/copper, thin light tan head. Nose is a kind of unrefined barleywine. Malt, alcohol, muddled fruit. Alcohol in aroma isn’t particularly hot. Flavor is sweet caramel, overly bitter, very alcoholic.

Jan 2, 2007 Cold 22oz bottle: Pours a clear medium golden orange color with a small frothy ivory head. Rich smoky grains, earthy hops, alcohol, spice and fruit notes. Medium to full bodied, crisp and well carbonated. Ending is fairly bitter with notes of earth and flowers.
