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.

On tap @ Rattle’N’Hum. 06 Vintage. Orange/Copper Pour. Orange plus wine aroma. Flavor isn’t sweet nor tart. Will try this again with a better clear palet and thought process more of wine. DFH is good at hiding 10& alcohol.

On draught at R’N’H (NYC): Tastes like orange peel, grape leaves, and red wine. At first was turned off by the initial taste, but quickly acquired what DFH was trying to get at. Alcohol is masked fairly well- definitely comparable to drinking a wine. It’s good.

Fruity nose with a nice head, tho it fades quickly. The grapes are an interesting and welcome addition to the wit style, and the higher abv rounds it out nicely. As described, its a nice segway from wine to beer.

Pours a transparent amber brown with a health lasting thin white head. Smells of grapes and leaves with a bit of alcohol. Taste is of orange peel, grapes. This is a nice surprise, the alcohol is covered well and the style is unique and fun.

Orange red color. Beautiful head that sits nicely. Lots of orange peel on the nose. Several hops and other fruits noticeable as well. Winelike texture which is not surprising. Slightly bitter flavor but lots of orange. Wine comes through in the finish. This was way better than expected. Incredible mix that satisfied me.

Bottle from KawaBomber. Pours a deep hazy orange color. Dark fruits, citrus, oak, cherries, light nuttiness, and alcohol warmth. Pretty good Belgian. Medium mouthfeel, a fair amount of carbonation. Thanks Melissa!
