Smuttynose Wheatwine.


Amber-orange color; sweet malty nose, no head. Very tight carbonation, what little there is. Bready taste, smooth mouthfeel, a little bitter, finishes wet. Overall, it leaves me with more of a wine impression than a beer impression. Still can't say I'm a fan of wheatwines.

Smuttynose, I'm noticing, seems to have a trademark signature on the palette. like Southern Tier is generally sweet on everything, for better or worse, Smuttynose seems to take a thinner approach on body and mouthfeel. I'm not sure I really appreciate that in most of the styles toward which I gravitate. I should probably try their maibock or hefeweizen.
