| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 13, 2007 Draft at Barcade. Some lemon citrus and wheat in the aroma. The flavor was similar but also had grapy undertones. It was sweet overall, and pretty tasty. PilsnerPeter (2612), Flushing, New York, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 12, 2007 Tap at Barcade’s 3rd Anniversary Party: Pours a nice ruby red color with a creamy thick off white head that lasts. Crisp aroma, slightly vinous. There’s a sharpness from the wheat malt, slightly buttery with a cranberry hint, probably from the Pinot Noir. Creamy feel to the body, with slightly vinous qualities in the initial flavor, with more Witbier character later on. Yeasty esters, and banana hints come through toward the finish. Not very complex, but crisp & quaff-able all around. Interesting experiment, which wasn’t overdone (which is surprising with this brewer). iowaherkeye (1845), Bakersfield, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 3, 2007 750mL, Bottled on 02/12/07. Clear orange red with a one finger off-white head, and fades to a ring. Coriander and grapey notes up front. Pepper, spicy alcohol, and Belgian yeast come next, all in about equal amounts. Hints of dry wood also present. Flavor has pretty much the same characteristics, though in different amounts. Belgian yeast and coriander strongest, pepper and spicy alcohol come next. Dry woody finish with not much in the way of bitterness, and the alcohol is . As this warmed, some fruity caramel malts made themselves apparent. Maybe I suck, but I didn’t really pick up on any red wine. Moderate smooth carbonation with a full body. Pretty good--better than the Black & Blue. MilkmanDan (1940), Eagan, Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 30, 2007 Pretty bright red. Fruity, smells of pomegranate, grape juice, and coriander. Sugary but not sweet, very dry at the end. Somewhat harsh. Could use some more fruit character in the flavor. rocbyter (905), Waterbury, Connecticut, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 27, 2007 Wine aroma is very evident along with hints of cardboard malts. Slight alcohol in the aroma also. Color is between orange and amber with a small reddish head. Taste starts tangy and finishes with some thing resembling a fruit juice. A very unique beer.
