On-Tap @ Bailey’s Taproom poured into Snifter glass.
Pours a cloudy amber with some reddish hues and has a light, fluffy off-white head that allows for a wispy layer to remain atop the glass. The aroma has belgian yeast, soft malt, sweet tart cherry, vanilla and an overall spiciness. The flavor is sweet malt and cherry upfront and accompanied by belgian yeast, malt, oak, alcohol and spice. It finishes dry and tasty. This is a medium bodied beer with a pleasant amount of carbonation. Honestly, Its better than expected with nice Belgian characteristics and the cherry and barrel characters are soft but noticeable. Complex and thirst quenching.

Dec 22, 2009 Bottle. 25.4 oz. Split with Sean. Pours a delicious honey melon orange color with a crisp, foamy white head. Aroma of apricot, vanilla, banana, rum, pineapple, hops, and hints of white grapes and clove. Medium bodied with an outrageously creamy, complex, and subtly sweet mouthfeel. Malty, very slightly boozy finish. Outstanding brew from Dogfish Head.

Dec 13, 2009 On tap at Capone’s. Pours white with a couple fingers of head. Aroma is of a very sweet wheat beer, almost like banana bread. Mouthfeel is very, very thick and syrupy, kind of anathema to a wheat beer. Taste is of banana, clove, slight alcohol, clove, and some other taste that I couldn’t put my finger on. Overall, it was an interesting beer but for the price, I wouldn’t get it again. I like my wheat beers thick, but refreshing. This one was thick and syrupy. BTW, I couldn’t taste the red wine qualities in this beer and I really like pinot noir.

Dec 6, 2009 Interesting brew. It very bubbly like a champagne, The combination of a Wit with the Pino flavors blend very well. I really did like the beer, but I don’t think I could drink more than one in an evening. It is very sweet. For a person who does not like beer, this could be a good beer to try.

Dec 5, 2009 I often would drink Pinot Noir at dinner, and find this a nice variation of that practice. The beer is a bit on the sweet side, but the dryness balances it out some. I really enjoy this beer. The only critique I have is that it is a bit on the sweet side, but I am being nit-picky and overall really enjoy this beer.

Nov 28, 2009 Nice solid hazy copper pour. Spice notes are present but certainly not overwhelming and are rather subtle and nuanced. Soft fruit and spice notes are quaintly balanced by more rustic touches of homey cinamon and clove. A nice earthy vibe to this brew, with a good madicinal burn. nice
