Dogfish Head Red and White

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

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

No shortage of orange peel on the nose, it smells fresh squeezed. Sunset colored, i got a lot of sediment in the glass, chunks galore. Fair amount of white head. Alcohol up front, bitter citrus peel and tart like a cranberry.

aroma is like that of a saison with a hint of alcohol and the pinot noir as well. color is unusual for the style due to the pinot and pours a deep amber color. flavor is very uniquie with hints of the coriander fading into a hoppy wine flavor. very fruity and floral yet balanced.

Bottled 2/9/2007, so just under 2 years old. Pours clear red with a pinkish head. juicy citric aroma with sweet fruity and vinous notes. The flavor has a nice berry like sweetness with citrus fruits and hints of spices. Interesting.

My 300th rating woohoo! Pinot comes through well, also orange peel, light and dark fruits swirl together wonderfully. A good complex brew. DFH is genius.

750ml Bottled on 02/09/07. Color is a dark reddish-orange with a thin, quickly dissipating head. Nose is complex with hints of caramel, Pinot Noir and Belgian yeast. Flavor changes throughout with dark fruit and candy sugar up front followed by zesty and slightly bitter orange and lemon flavors and then finishing with a strong dry oak character. Would strongly recommend aging this beer, I have had it freshly bottled and on draft and did not enjoy it either time. This bottle after nearly two years of aging is fantastic. Flavors have now settled and there is finally a sense of cohesion to the overall taste of the beer. The oak character has mellowed, but is still prevalent and the initial tartness has subsided. Wish I had some more of this.

750ml bottle. Pours a dark, cloudy amber color with a thin foamy white head that quickly setles. Citrus orange zest aroma with malt and smokey oak hints. Very smooth and well balanced with sweet citrus fruit and lemon peel countering the smokey oak dryness. Slightly sour aftertaste. The alcohol is hardly noticable.

This red pour smells like sweet, rich, dark fruit. You can see the orange peel floating around. It is sweet but also very strong in flavor which is probably due to the 10%.
