Pours a nice light yellow-gold with hints of reddish pink. Aroma is a nice pinot like grape scent. Flavor is dry, alcoholic, and slightly fruity. This is a nice dry beer with wine hints, i like this style. Another pretty cool brew from Dogfish. lemasney (398), Trenton, New Jersey, USA Mar 2, 2009 More gold than red, thin translucent head on a deep, golden hazy body, looks very nice. Taste is deep Belgian, fruity with a very warm finish. Truly great and with an amazing finish. You can really taste the wine. Sticky, sweet and warm. A must have. NobleSquirrel (1094), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 1, 2009 Draft at Binny’s South Loop. I never really had a strong desire to taste this one, but now I’m glad I did. Pours an orange color with a distinct nose of a Belgian wit with a touch of banana and vanilla, as well as citric notes. Taste is very vanilla forward from the oak with a distinct pungent pinot character as well. The flavors come together really nicely and I never once felt overwhelmed by the alcohol character. Very nice. macguy (144), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Feb 28, 2009 A Twitter friend recommended this beer. This is one of those dangerous beers; the alcohol taste is hidden by the complex flavors. The nose is fresh, fruity with citrus tones. The color is almost a peach blush. It pours with a nice white head which slowly fades but never completely goes away. The flavor reminds me a bit of Dutch "drop", the tasty licorice that is so popular in the Netherlands.
This beer has changed my whole attitude about Dogfish - I’m planning to buy a few bottles and set them aside for future goodness. angrypirate06 (678), Texas, USA Feb 28, 2009 Bottle. Pours a nice redish orange. Long lasting foamy head. Nose is sweet, with some malts, bread scents and citrus. Decently carbonated. Syrupy palate. Bottle I had was a couple months old, which helped remove some of the alcohol on the back end, leaving a sweeter and more enjoyable beer. DalzAle (474), Eden Prairie, Minnesota, USA Feb 27, 2009 Bottle. Apricot pour, minimal carbonation and some good funky yeast. Flavor was honey, raisins, flowers, malt, and some brown sugar. Finish was warming and slightly abbrasive, wish it was a little weaker on the alcohol. dcr2 (7), Wisconsin, USA does not count Feb 27, 2009 bread, citrus, herbs, dough, alcohol, amber, cloudy, aminimal head, medium sweetness, medium bitterness, medium sourness, soft carbonation, long finish, medium body, Rciesla (3500), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Feb 27, 2009 Bottle and on draft. Pours a dark amber body with a thin wispy head. Cherries vinous character a light oak and woodiness. Big malt body with some lighter citric notes and peppercorn into a moderate alcohol warming. Good brew.
