Apr 11, 2009 I have to admit up-front I was a little afraid of this beer. Pinot Noir and beer? Strange idea in concept. In reality the taste is a lot like a good German hefeweizen with something extra. I can’t quite pick it out, maybe the underlying taste comes from the Pinot Noir juice. Red/orange pour with a small white head. Aroma is bananas, orange peel, and maybe some red wine. Taste is very similar to the aroma, bananas are what I taste up front, and then again orange peel and the underlying wine taste. Interesting drink and not as weird as I thought it might be.

Apr 10, 2009 Hazy reddish body with a thick off-white head. Aroma reminds me more of wine than beer. Grapes, apples, oak, and a touch of citrus. Mouthfeel is smoother than I expected. Fairly creamy with moderate carbonation. The flavor gets better as you drink it. Sweet and malty up front. A powerful punch of wine-like flavor kicks in about halfway through. Finishes dry with significant alcohol warming. A good brew from a very unique brewer.

Apr 8, 2009 Overall comes off as a big old Belgian white or Triple but w/ an oaky red-wine note in the finish. I expected the flavors to clash more but the beer dominates and the wine-like characteristics just add accents.

Apr 6, 2009 On tap at the Flying Saucer in Nashville. Poured a hazy red/amber color with a very bubbly, two finger, off white head. The aroma was very much like a good wine, with apples and grapes and hints of oak and citrus. The flavor was pretty sweet. Didn’t detect a whole lot of oak in the flavor. Mainly reminded me of sweet red wine that my father makes. This was still a very good dessert beer. I’m glad I didn’t buy a 750 of this, but still enjoyed the beer.

Apr 1, 2009 Bottle- 750 from BZ in Chicago. Loved the smell of this brew! I am also a wine lover... Strong scents of oak, and white wine type things like apple, citrus, and grapes. Interesting flavors blended with belgian and wine mix. Many don’t like the clash, but it was very enjoyable. Definitely was appreciated more after a few sips.

Mar 29, 2009 Updated: May 14, 2009A swill-tasting muddy mix of sporadic flavos. I believe that Belgian wits are like ladies, a strong man is needed to bring out their true potential, unfortunately dogfish head decided to pair it with a south beach homo. Put something manly in your wit, otherwise I’ll be forced to drink it with my pinky up.
