Review input from notes. Enjoyed 3/28/11

Red grape stained orange body. Body is relatively clear. 3 finger antique white colored head rests atop. Very impressive retention, the head works its way back ever so slowly. A decent amount of lacing clings to the walls of the glass.

The nose displays each element with an impressive balance, allows each to be appreciated. Wheaty malt, citrus and coriander noted up front. The pinot grape comes up behind providing a pleasant balance, blending much better than I anticipated.

Grainy wheat malt and sweet grape juice join up front and coat the palate. The midpalate brings a spicy note to light. The spice compliments the wheat while contrasting the sweet grape. The flavor dries out a bit on the back end as pinot and oak flavors come into play.

Medium bodied beer. Carbonation is moderate, works well for this beer. There is a slight creaminess to the texture which is unexpected and appreciated. The finish is moderate though drier than expected.

A very different and enjoyable beer. There are a number of flavors coming together you do not often find in combination in many beers. The flavors mesh very well. A great bottle to share, I am not certain an entire bottle would be something I enjoy.
