Aug 1, 2008 Pours a pinkish red color with an off white head. Aroma is very fruity, much like a belgian white but also overwhelmed with alcohol. Flavor is much the same, yeasty and fruity but a bit dry at the same time. Too boozy for only being 10% alcohol.

Jul 29, 2008 Got some nice citrus in this beer along with the pinot noir juice. Nice big beer. I was very impressed with this. I love the fact that Dogfish head makes beer that nobody thinks about.

Jul 19, 2008 Very unique ale. Poured a hazy ale with floaties. The pinot noir juice adds a slight tartness to the wit that vastly improved the flavor. The balance is just right, a fusion of wine and beer, taking a style I’m not a big fan of and making it much better. FInish is a tad cloying, though the alcohol is not detectable.

Jul 18, 2008 This was an interesting beer. Not overly spiced like many Belgians but definitely had some crispness to it. The flavor was almost a little fruity it seemed. Don’t know much about wine, so couldn’t tell you whether or not this tasted like a pinot noir, but it was good enough.

Jul 16, 2008 750mL bottle. Pours cloudy and amber with a small white head. Aroma of orange, grapefruit peel, coriander, yeast, and some sugar cookie. Thick, sticky, sugary sweet mouthfeel with orange and coriander that moves toward a biscuity doughiness before finishing with a tart, alcohol-laden bite. Aftertaste of dried fruit (raisins, apricots). Very interesting brew. I guess I had hoped to detect a bit more of that Pinot Noir...oh well, it’s still good. A tad expensive, but worth it nonetheless.

Jul 13, 2008 My score might be generous. It was an outstanding brew, but the Pinot Noir barrels and fruit could not be detected at all. The oil of an orange is noticed, not sour, strong belgian style but superb balance. Really well made. I could see this aging for quit some time, maybe with age the pinot aspect will outlast the other parts to this brew? It would be awesome if it does.

Jul 8, 2008 Pour is hazy orange. Dry fruit aroma. Flavor is similar to wine with hints of orange and hops unique beer here not sure if I would buy it again considering its price tag.

Jul 8, 2008 Pours a cloudy orange with a thin white head. A slight, spicy aroma followed by a unique orange/grape flavor with a hint of floral hops. Alcohol is well hidden. A nice cross between wine/beer with the beer being the predominent beverage.
