Bottle, thanks to Hopdog!!!
Poured a deep hazy amber with light beige head, nice retention. Aroma of orange and apple. Flavor is very nice and balanced, sweet, with notes of coriander and orange peel with nice alcohol spice. Palate is full bodied and smooth, low-medium carbonation. Very nice beer......

Aug 19, 2008 750 ml bottle from coldbrewky. Pours an amber color with a small off-white head. The aroma is rich with Belgian yeasts, spices, and dark fruits. The flavor is complex and slightly sweet with red wine, vanilla, caramel, dark fruits and almonds. The mouthfeel is full and malty. The finish is long with caramel. Overall: A very tasty ale that gives a nice buzz, thanks Steve.

Aug 14, 2008 Bottle (750ml). Shared with blankboy, garthicus, GregClow and jerc - via trade with Zathrus13. Hazy peach-ruby pour, average frothy beige head. Spicy, pungent fruit/yeast aroma, very herbal and juicy - maybe a little like concentrated fruit juice with floral bitterness. The taste follows, not as intense as the aroma, just sweet juice and extract of flowers, seems a little less than 10%. Average body, mildly carbonated, floral aftertaste. Odd, pretty solid though - but a "wit" - nah!!!

Aug 11, 2008 Poured reddish, smelled like a standard wit beer. The taste was sweet, but not in the best of ways, I could hardly keep drinking it despite the steep price for it. I’m a fan of Dogfish, but they need to stay on the beer side and not try to delve into wine styles.

Aug 10, 2008 750ml - Poured a reddish-amber in color with a frothy off white head that hung around. Aroma is fruity with the strong character of classic Wit ingredients... coriander and orange... something unusual in the aroma though... vinous character from the wine perhaps. Flavor is very sweet with coriander, citrus yeast and "old wood". Warming from the alcohol. Little of the wine comes through. Some dark fruit at the end. Finish is sticky and sweet... really too sweet for me... Interesting... expensive... pretty good...
