Dogfish Head actually appears to have accomplished what it set out to do with this beer. Strong wit beer base with a definitive red wine accent.

Jul 16, 2008 750mL bottle. Pours cloudy and amber with a small white head. Aroma of orange, grapefruit peel, coriander, yeast, and some sugar cookie. Thick, sticky, sugary sweet mouthfeel with orange and coriander that moves toward a biscuity doughiness before finishing with a tart, alcohol-laden bite. Aftertaste of dried fruit (raisins, apricots). Very interesting brew. I guess I had hoped to detect a bit more of that Pinot Noir...oh well, it’s still good. A tad expensive, but worth it nonetheless.

Jul 13, 2008 My score might be generous. It was an outstanding brew, but the Pinot Noir barrels and fruit could not be detected at all. The oil of an orange is noticed, not sour, strong belgian style but superb balance. Really well made. I could see this aging for quit some time, maybe with age the pinot aspect will outlast the other parts to this brew? It would be awesome if it does.

Jul 8, 2008 Pour is hazy orange. Dry fruit aroma. Flavor is similar to wine with hints of orange and hops unique beer here not sure if I would buy it again considering its price tag.

does not count  Jul 8, 2008 Pours a cloudy orange with a thin white head. A slight, spicy aroma followed by a unique orange/grape flavor with a hint of floral hops. Alcohol is well hidden. A nice cross between wine/beer with the beer being the predominent beverage.

Jul 5, 2008 Pours a cloudy, dirty orange with a thin short lived head. Aroma is nice with orange, spice, and wheat. The taste is a rich spice, clover, and citrus blend, ending with a red wine and warming alcohol finish.
