Bottle. hazy red, champagne bubbles, layering head. Dry wine, balsamico and wood aroma. Golden ale base, oranges, citrus, wood, raisins. medium to light body dry wooden mouthfeel. Fruity aftertaste.

Bottle at home, from BlackIPA. Shared with Cole, from my Minneapolis Town Hall glass. Pours clear orange/gold, thick white head, fine lacing. Nose is crushed berries, oak, tannin, cream, orange, light vinous notes. Flavours of red grape, oak, vanilla, spice, leather, alcohol... Not really great, but thoroughly enjoyable and pushes the envelope...

Pours pale amber with a white head. Smells very oaky. Flavour is amazing bold complex. I get the wine the oak the tannins. Deliciouse. I get marmalade and hops. Very creative and tasty.

A - pours light bubbly golden amber with no head.no lacing. S - very floral, Belgian yeasts, coriander orange peel and a hint of grapes. M - full bodied, average palate. High burning carb. Spicy palate with lingering malty Belgian yeasts. T - corriander, Belgians yeasts, orange peel up front. Pinot, over ripe grapes, over sweet fruity sugar. Lingering clovey bitter sweet malts. O - not a great combination. Far to sweet. 6-

Bottle - Orangepeel, coriander and a slight alcohol finish on the end. Golden with a long lasting creamy white head. Taste the yeast and alchohol which overwhelmes the beer, may mellow with age but now a little rich for my palate.

A - Pours a clear golden-orange with a finger of frothy white head. The head fades down slowly leaving behind some nice thick lace. S - Aroma is a mix of dark grape, orange and other citrus flavors, Belgian yeast, coriander and other spices, wheat, and a bit of oak and booze. T - Starts off with a mix of lightly sweet dark grape with some orange peel and a bit of wheat. Through the middle, some stronger citrus flavors come through with some coriander and Belgian yeast flavor. The finish is a mix of dark grape, orange and other citrus flavors, wheat, oak, and a bit of booze. M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Feels smooth with a sweet and warming finish. D - Very drinkable. Nice big witbier with the Pinot Noir grapes and oak adding some nice touch and balancing out the body and the alcohol content.

Clear reddish-amber with a somewhat stable, frothy cream colored head. Lacing is pretty heavy. Aroma of white wine, grapes, banana, caramel, bubblegum, citrus, and bread. Taste is witbier, wine, sweet fruit, and caramel with virtually no noticeable alcohol. Medium bodied, smooth. Nice.

Summary: Tasty.

750 mL bottle from a hotel glass. Pours a golden orange color with a small white head. Aroma has a nice bit of orange citrus and some definite grape juice. Taste has some nice fruity notes...both grape and citrus. Also there is a bit of oaky woodiness in the finish. Very refreshing, balanced beer and the ABV is very well hidden.

Draft. Very odd, Medium body, kinda sweet, has a bit of a bite though. Fruity, effervescent, hmmmm...Not so sure bout this. One of these beers is enough, couldn’t do two.

Pours golden with low white head Aromas of oranges, citrusy fruits, belgian yeast, honey Mmm. Very nice full bodied, round sweet belgian from dogfish head. Cant really sense the coriander, but it doesnt really matter... This is a really good belgian style ale!
