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.

Pours with an amber-red body topped by a thick peach colored head wtih lots of lacing. It’s sweet and malty with notes of fruit, some toffee and peperry notes of alcohol. Meidum to full bodied, slightly numbing on the tongue and warming.

Poured a translucent pinkish red color with no white head. Smells like pinot noir (surprise) and vanilla. Flavor is yeasty with touches of peanuts and a strong flavor of grapes. Soft finish, but very fizzy.

Brought to C-U Beer Club by htsprint. Interesting beer. Oregon Pinot Noit is one of my favorite wines, so this held promise. Deep ruby/amber body beneath a small, foamy white head. Aroma was slightly fruity, notes of wood, slight evidence of the pinot, spice, yeast. Failry full bodied and a nice, smooth feel in the mouth. The flavor was more bitter than expected, vinous, fruity, with that spiciness of a Belgian strong. An interesting beer and something good to sit and sip.

Bottle. Reddish in colour with a rather large head. Very fruity with notes of citrus, berries, pineapples and spices. Kinda vinous.

750 ml bottle shared with fordest and toncatcher. Pretty decent flavors of some older rippening fruit and some sweetness.
