Smuttynose Wheat Wine

Bottle, thank you Daknole. Dark amber color with small hazy head. Chewy aroma makes me roll my eyes...but actually it’s not as sticky or chewy as it lets on. The flavors are much nicer than the aromas. Flavors are big in malt and hop categories with not much wheat character but has a nice big hoppy kick.

For a wheat, I am impressed. This is so thick you can chew it down, and it dark as hell. But it tastes like cough syrup that was fucked by a hobo. Only real flavor is alcohol. Thank you Daknole.

22 oz. bottle - thanks for maxxdaddy for the trade; 2008 bottling i believe; pours dark amber, clear and basically flat as trace white head disappears instantly; sweet aromas of fruit juice, lemons and wheat; quite dry and sharp on first sip; super thin body; a little like drinking stale fruit juice; overall i find wheat wines kind of strange and not my thing

Draft at capones. Pours an amber body with an off white head. Sweet chewy fruits, apples, citrus, and dried fruits. Moderate etoh warming and comes across more like alcohol infused fruits. Moderate hop character of grapefruit. Good brew.

Smuttynose Wheat Wine is a cloudy red-orange-brown beer with a thin off-white head. It has a twangy, sweet aroma that seems a little resiny. In the mouth, it’s fluffy and full bodied. It’s quite smooth. It’s well balanced-- a little bitter and a little sweet. I like this. It seems like a good barleywine. I’d never suspect that there was so much wheat in it.

Draught at Akkurat, Stockholm
Hazy red color; medium creamy head. Good caramel aroma and hop, light alcohol too. Full bodied, strong caramel flavor, strong bitterness. Very good, with some fruitness it would be great.

Bomber 2008 vintage. Pours a nice slight hazy deep woody copper with a thinning head. Aroma i slight woody, nice doughy sharp but sweet malts and a burning alcohol and fruity esters. Sweet caramel malt flavor and toffee, light nutty yeastiness, fruity apple, peach and apricot, light hoppiness, and a fusel and high alcohol burn but not too out of control. Nice even though it is fresh.

22oz bottle, from Swolf3, thanks Steven. Dark copper pour with a light tan head. Super rich malty/wheaty aroma, can smell the alcohol. Very strong flavor with some good bitterness in the finish. I love this kind of beer, very good.
