Red & White

Wheat Beer - Witbier

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.

Aged for quite awhile in the bottle. Probably at least 5 years old. Still tastes good. Pretty light body at this point. Still has the wine flavors going on which gives it a nice overall flavor.

Aging since 2013. Lost all of its redeeming qualities. Malty yet watered down. Well past its prime.

Crisp and kind of champagne-like. Still good and fairly smooth. Thanks Mike!

I enjoy this one. I like the balance of citrusy and the complexity of the red wine.

Aged five years, not too much sediment. Excellent flavor profile of grape must and sweet Belgian yeast. Not very boozy for a beer at 10% ABV.

Citrus with a big presence of oak rounded by the grape. It’s enjoyable even with the 10% abv.

Aged surprisingly well for the style. A family member passed this on to me, and, despite its age, it is still quite delicious.

Clearing out the cellar, don't see a date. So who knows what year this is.

Rating should be downgraded but only because of age. Still drinkable after what has to be 6 years or so in bottle! Start brewing it again DFH!

I hoped these flavors, which are there, would surpass my distaste for wheaty beers. Not totally.
