Commercial Description:
Light, tasty & full of character, our summer wheat ale is brewed with a combination of domestic and continental wheat and barley malts, lightly hopped & fermented with a Belgian wit yeast, resulting in a delightfully tangy & refreshing flavor. This beer is brewed for warm weather enjoyment. Bring some to your next picnic, barbeque or Frisbee game.

Bottle: Pours a slightly hazy golden with a stable white head. The aroma has some mild wheat malt, some bready notes, and peppery citrus. Nice and bright. Fairly light body, but with a decent flavor. Light bready base with a crisp wheaty/citrus presence. Has some lemon zest as well as mild peppery grassy notes. Finish is dominated by a spicy bitter grassy character. Not bad; a nice summer quencher.

dark appearing for a weizen with huge thick white head. sweet flavor of some orange peal and coriander, the yeast gives it a peculiar sweetness. an unusual example of the style

12 oz bottle. Pours hazy orange with white head. Aroma is yeast and something else. Taste is smooth with a touch of hops in the end.

hazy straw-yellow with a sudsy white head. tangy wheat, bit sulfury, and some earthy to floral hops in the nose. Nice malty backbone with a bit of spice and some light toast in the finish. light and easy drinking summer brew!

This was disappointing to me since Smuttynose is generally consistently good. Pours yellow / golden with a light haze and an off-white frothy head. The aroma is chalky, floral, perfumy and wheaty ~ kinda ’meh’. Medium body that is fairly rough with light, but harsh, carbonation. The flavor starts like the aroma, but drier. The finish shows a bit of hops. Fair.

The aroma coming off this beer was the most imressive part. The pour was nice with good lacing and head too. As for taste, it wasnt bad but it was a bit too fruity for my taste. There was an overwhelming taste of apricot that took away from everything else. Much like a magic hat #9 but far more intense.
