This is another one of Dogfish's brews of their new Fall line of specialty beer. It's a mixture of Pinot Noir red wine and German white beer. A very interesting mix.
It pours out a very nice dark, amber color. It is pretty opaque but you see a very interesting residue fall down the glass after the pour. It also produced a very nice, foamy head. It had the very strong scent of wine and it also had a orange-y smell. The beer was mixed with citrus fruits so this doesn't come as a surprise. there was even more presence of the orange in the taste and it had a high-acid taste like orange juice. It finished off with red wine taste that was very classy. It had a pretty smooth texture with a tart finish - very reminiscent of red wine.
This is a beer you can appreciate if you like wine as well as beer. It has the best of both worlds and it's good to see that Dogfish Head is still producing quality mix beers.
