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.

beautiful oxblood red with a lingering white head. strong citrus on the nose, with a complex bitter orange and dark fruit taste. Cedar stands out and the balance is great.

Poured a ruby red color with a thin white head that dissipated quickly. The aroma is of sweet fruits and red wine. The coriander and orange peel are also noticeable. At first the taste was sweet with the fruits and red wine, and had a nice bite from some hops. As the beer warmed up it become very smooth and easy to drink. The alcohol left a nice warming feeling all the way down. I definitely enjoyed this beer.

More wine than beer. I won’t be asking for a pitcher. Red with white head. Light fruit and big flower aroma. Taste starts with grapes and unripe plums. Hint of wine in the teeth. Some hop finish as you get into it and more crisp grape.

Cloudy, reddish amber appearace with a small, off white head and good lacing. Grapey aroma, well spiced, some yeastiness. Tart, crisp, fruity, wheat taste, moderately sweet, woody, earthy, vinous. Medium-to-full bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel leading to a long lasting, spicy finish. Interesting mix of flavors, which the brewers probably had fun putting together.

750ml bottle and served in my NB worthy glass: Poured a sunset orange hue topped by a nice frothy lasting head and very good lace. The aroma has notes of orange zest, blood orange and tangerine, hint of grape, coriander, floral hops, some other biscuity character, and a very faint nose of oak.

The taste is a hodge podge of sweet and tart fruits, mild spice and a simple yeast base. The finish is oaky and dry with the alcohol making a palate cleansing appearance. The mouth feel has a drawn out stickiness without the refreshing quality of a Witbier. Overall, once again DFH let me down with it’s latest releases. Nice to try once but I will likely not buy another after I finish this bottle and the other I bought.

2007- Cloudy magenta/ cranberry juice in color...coriander, orange and an overall sweet smell,.expected more to show through on the nose and palate...a soft creamy mouth-feel...wine seems to drown out much of the Belgian flavor...slight sweetness, flat flavor, and a sour finish...very intresting
