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.

750 ml bottle. Pours a reddish-amber color with moderate head. This one smells like a typical Belgian white ale, with a hint of earthiness. Flavor: Orange peel, Pinot Noir (duh), mild spices, with a fizzy alcohol finish. I’ve been waiting to try this one for quite some time, and it’s lived up to my expectations.

Bottle, courtesy of redlight. Pours a slightly hazy red/amber with a thin white head that quickly faded to the edge. On the nose strawberries, sweet, wine and sugar. Flavor is quite sweet, some grapes, wine and some grape skin tannins are apparent in the aftertaste. A little thick in the mouth. Overall impression is very sweet and heavy.

Pours a decent hazy apreicot hue with a decent off white head. The nose is all kinds of sugars and a touch of yeast. The flavor goes way sweet with honey and too much sugar, even for my sweet tooth.

Bottle shared with HogTownHarry, blankboy, tupalev, jerc & garthicus - courtesy of HogTownHarry. Hazy red with a small off-white head. Fruity aroma with a lot of grape, a bit of coriander and other vague herbal notes. Medium bodied. Flavours of fruit and cream, with hints of wood and wine, and a mildly herbal finish. Didn’t wow me, but still quite tasty.

Bottled. A hazy ddep red beer with a small amount of yeast sediment floating around under a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of cherries as well as lighter notes of almond. The flavor is sweet with notes of cherries, almonds, and alcohol on a light malty background, but also with hints of acidity. The mouthfeel is quite sparkling.
