Smuttynose Blueberry Short Weisse

Subtle barnyard aromas of leather, hay, and horse blanket hide behind distinct raspberry, cherry, and blackberry fruit notes. There is nothing sweet left in this guy. Fruit shines through subtle funk, some low oak character. Assertive tartness. Murky.

“Looks like fruit juice, smells like guava juice with sulfur, tastes like sweet-and-sour guava juice. It’s thick, and the cloying sweetness doesn’t seem to want to go away. Super-yeasty nose, cut with orange pulp. Smoothie is right—they’ve nailed the mouthfeel and the salt adds to the creaminess.”

**Aroma:** “A touch soapy on the nose, with some tart lactic notes. Some apple sweetness sits in the back, with light malt sweetness and a touch of honey. Hints of tartness could be there, but they’re very light. A floral aroma conbined with a very slight spicy pine note.” **Flavor:** “Moderate graininess up front. Light body is a bit thin but refreshing. Very slight tartness with some dry apple-like fruit notes, akin to a dry cider with a crisp finish. Medium carbonation and light body, with some malty biscuit notes that balance the tartness. Light and subtle lactic sour toward the end of the sip that lingers longer than expected.” **Overall:** “Very pronounced grain and roasty character up front and a sweet and slightly salty mix going on. The delicate apple notes provide some crisp sweetness throughout. It’s very drinkable, light, and refreshing.”
