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.

25.6 oz bottle. Pours a light red with 1.5 cm off-white head. Aroma of some random fruits, mostly dark fruits and oranges. Initial flavor is balanced between sweet fruit, oak, and spice. Flavor ends dry and the pinot noir really comes out and dominates here and on the aftertaste. Medium body, some light lacing, light to moderate carbonation, and alcohol was defiantly noticed, kind of wine like in that sense. Drinkability is kind of low, if you want wine, buy wine.

Pours an unfiltered deep orange color, with a strong aroma of orange and spice, very sweet with a hint of oak, without to much alcohol over powering the flavor.

Pours clear pink with large bubbles and a fine white head. Sweet sugary orange/vanilla/fruit aroma. Little bit woody and spicy but that quickly gets pushed away by sweet orangy/vanilla syrup like flavor. Really interesting brew with some vanilla creaminess. Its easy to taste the belgian white under there but its a very nice compliment for the Pinot. Alcohol is a little strong in the finish, hot flavor. Bitter grape aftertaste. Body is thin and a little sticky and the carbonation is lively. This is for sure a dessert beer as any real quantity of this sweet nectar would make someone sick.

750mL bottle. Pours with great head; almost pink with plenty of sediment. Smells of Belgian Wit w/ some wine notes. Front of the mouth Pinot accents very present, overall with sweet wheat predominance. Finishes clean and with alcohol taste; tastes more than 10% but easy to drink.

Pours a strange pinkish color with an off white head. The aroma is sweet with grapes, citrus some wood. The aroma is very wine like. Lots of grape sweetness with definite alcohol presence. Nice finish. Really nice easy drinking beer that chalanges normal beer

What a unique beer! Pours a golden color with some red hues in it. Nose is sweet and malty with a fruity nose and some yeasty. Taste is sweet and mouthfeel is chewy. Really great unique taste and at 10% abv this beer is very drinkable. Another great brew from DFH. There is even a grape and oaky finish on this brew.
