Commercial Description:
A big, Belgian-style Wit brewed with coriander and orange peel and fermented with Pinot Noir juice. After fermentation a fraction of the batch is aged in Oregon Pinot Noir barrels, and another fraction is aged on oak staves. The beer is blended together before packaging. This has been one of our most popular Limited Edition beers at both our Rehoboth Beach, DE brewpub and at festivals. It successfully marries the refreshing citrusy qualities of a Belgian-style white beer with the robust complexity of a bold red wine.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of boboski. Pours a hazy, reddish amber with a slightly reddish head. Lightly tart aroma also with fruit, yeast, diacetyl and alcohol. Quite full-bodied with sweetish malt and fruity notes - somewhat berry-like. Surprisingly hoppy with a somewhat burning alcohol in the finish. Didn’t really pick up any hints of a Wit in here. 190408

Courtesy of Tony @ OTH. Pours copper, brownish. Aroma is oaky, light fruity notes, there is definitely some wine traces in there. Taste, oaky, little nutty, light caramel malts with nice notes of fruits (mainly the use of wine barrels). Pairs very well with cheese.

A nice surprise on tap at Redlight Redlight! It poured a nice yellow-pink color, almost a light orange. Nice thick white head. The citrus comes through more in the smell and the pinot noir comes through in the taste. It’s a nice fruity beer with a twist of wine and a good alcohol kick. Overall, pretty good.

Draft at Redlight Redlight. Cloudy dark orange pour with a thick white head. Malty belgian triple aroma with hints of wine and orange peel. Dry malty tart flavor with hints of citrus, hops and wine. Dry fruity aftertaste with a slightly boozy bite. Good beer.

Had on tap at Redlight. Had nice orange color. Very citrusy body. Malty towads the end. Also very strong alcohol taste towards the end... not bad, but not my fave...

750->tulip: Pours a huge, frothy, white head that exhibits fair lacing atop a murky, heavily particulate dark orange body. Aroma of green apples and sour cherries with a taste of pinot noir midway thru the flavor. The body is medium, the texture is thin, but oily, average carbonation. The flavor’s duration is long, moderately sweet and lightly acidic.
