Commercial Description:
A big, Belgian-style Wit brewed with coriander and orange peel and fermented with Pinot Noir juice. After fermentation a fraction of the batch is aged in Oregon Pinot Noir barrels, and another fraction is aged on oak staves. The beer is blended together before packaging. This has been one of our most popular Limited Edition beers at both our Rehoboth Beach, DE brewpub and at festivals. It successfully marries the refreshing citrusy qualities of a Belgian-style white beer with the robust complexity of a bold red wine.

Bottle @ Brouwer’s, Seattle. Pours a clear reddish color with a small white head. Fruity spicey orange aroma. Warming wheaty malty spicey orange and pinot noir flavor. Sweetish malty wheaty fruity orange finish.

750mL. Pours clear dark gold with a lacy white head. Fruit and spice aroma, but light on the spice. Medium body, moderate carbonation. Sweet toffee and fruit taste. I can pick up a bit of the oak and pinot taste, but I have to concentrate on it - much nicer than getting whacked upside the head with it.

Bottle pours out a amber topped with a small head. Aroma of bread, yeast, and plenty of sweetness. Tast sugar, spice, and everything nice. Just kidding. Nothing to great a let down from DFH.

Bottle, shared w/ danielcurtis81. Poured in white wine glass. Stong aroma and taste. Wheat side comes through well as does the wine-like character. Taste improves immensly as this one warms. Fruit comes out well in the end. Not bad, not great.

Bottle: Hazy orange pour with a thin head. Aroma is floral and fruity with some light spices. Tastes spicey with some bananas, esters, and cloves. A very light amount of grape. Not really picking up on any barrel notes. Sort of boring, but still ok.

Light ambr with a very small skin of a head. Slightly sour saison like aroma. Busy multiple angle flavor. Undefine muddy flavor profile. Modrate carbonation. Underwelming.

Bottle shared with GregClow, Hogtown Harry, Jerc, Blankboy, and Garthicus, courtesy of Harry. Blood red, rusty, good sized frothy white head. Fruity aroma, some alcohol, ok. Good taste - very fruity, hoppy even, some alcohol. Lightly spiced as well. Good.

Bottle. A lighter amber color then I expected from the description. First sips are overpowered by the Belgian yeasts, admittedly not my favorite to start out with. Fruity flavors build as does the sweetness. A few hints of oak but not much of the pinot comes through.
