Dogfish Head Red and White

Brewed by Dogfish Head Brewery
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Milton, Delaware USA

YES. I’ve been in hopheaven with all these supi dupi IPA’s I’d forgotten me beer roots in my fav Belgian Strong Ale. Let’s be honest; lately, a lot of the "Belgian Ales" out are stale and uninspired, poorly crafted and shipped out the next day. Well, in honour of the mountain homework and papers I have for school, I will finish this pint point 9er in one sitting. I don’t feel guilty no. Aint driven, and worked out for about 2 hours today. Ready to rock. So yes, nose is very bountiful in an arrangement that would make a West Palm wedding jealous. Yeast, floral notes, citrus hints and spicey spice. Taste is Pinot Noir, and you can certainly pick it out without gaining that unsightly vein racked across ye’ ol brow. Lots of alchohol, maybe a little ruff on that. I think Maudite has it down better on mellowing it out, but I like the bite of this as well. Taste carries on with yeast hints, dark fruits and an after burn of some citrus. ...talk to me Goose. Lots of spices and pepper corn in this as well. Slight brandy as well. Nice and chewy. I wish they would sort this into smaller bottles. Of, btw, it looks great too.

Sample from April 20, 2007 Beer Club Meeting. (Entering old ratings.) A beautiful beer! Orange color with a red hue, thin reddish head... aroma complex, of citrus and spice. The slight pungency of Pinot Noir is a nice touch, well blended... a touch of earthy sweetness. Yeast, spice, and a little bit of woodsiness. Easy and very enjoyable to drink. I love Dogfish’s special brews, and although they’re not chart toppers, they’re certainly well crafted and worth the experience.

Bottle purchased at Mustard Seed Market a few months ago, back when the weather was warm and sunny...Sigh.... those were the days. Now I get to keep myself warm by drinking and having a space heater next to my giblets. Anyhow, this pours a very attractive orange with a thin white head. Aroma is complex, filled with yeast, orange peal, a little earthy oak and just a hint of the grape juice. The flavor does not disappoint. It really comes off with a mix of the lovely Belgian yeast flavors mix with a genuine sweetness, oranges, a tad bit of spice-ginger, almost. I can’t much taste any serious wine notes, instead it tastes more mellowed by the oak aging. Somewhat fluffy in on the tongue, chewy at the end, and boy howdy does it mask the alcohol, like a good beer should.

ever tried replacing a cockroachs blood with root beer? .. pours a ruby red colour with fine head and outstanding lacing .. wow, not what i was expecting, but from what i have heard and from what i read from this label, This was a surprise no matter what.... lots of sufary sweetness, alcohol, grape, syrup and other sweet honey whiffs in the nose .. quite easy to drik while still enjoying the very interesting complexities ... wine drinkers really should like this .. good, very drinkable, not worth the original hype but a good offering but there is something about this that makes it sooo not worth the money!....rock and roll! ...

A wonderful colored beer. Pours with almost zero head that settles to a minimal level. A strong zesty orange attack which mellows to a slight citris, almost wine like finish. Overall a very nice beer

Pours reddish orange, citrus, orange peel, yeasty, little spice, little wood, slight spice.

Cloudy and hazed blood orange fluid with a juicy citrus nose with chalky yeast notes and an early hint of decomposing fruit. Yeasty and citrus flavors, somewhat flat feel in the mouth and it tastes like it has a little age under its belt...but nicely fruity.

thanks to whomever brought this to woodshop quad. This is a very tasty beer, pinkish color slightly sweet, I enjoyed it very much.
