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.

Yo, best wine style beer I’ve had. Everything white without the dryness. That’s where a touch of a sweet red balances that. Very well done. Look forward to this again.

Bottled 4/17/14. Aged well, orange really comes through. I liked these old DFH wine-beer hybrids.

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

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

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.
