2008 Vintage bottle @ In de Verzekering tegen de Grote Dorst during the Tour De Geuze. Pours a murky, very hazy orange with a greyish white head, only on the sides. Smell is dusty cellar, oxidized, murky, lightly rotting, very overripe dark fruit, dust, lightly watery,… Taste I surprisingly good, sweet mouldy, sugar, light overripe fruits, oxidation, rather sweet still, dying thick yeast, sweet spices,… Little carbonation but aptly fuller body. Obviously this beer cannot survive for long but good cellqring kept this drinkable and quite enjoyable.

Pours mega cloudy amber. Taste was spicy, some indian spices and vanilla. Kinda weird. Also slightly metalic aftertaste. sooo boring!

Found a lone bottle with a only half a ripped label, in a beer shop in Brugge. Pours mega cloudy amber. Taste was spicy, some indian spices and vanilla. Kinda weird. Also slightly metalic aftertaste. Think it had probably seen better days. Love Struise normally but not a fan of this brew.

Bottle shared. Pours cloudy yellow golden with a small off white head. Aroma of fruit, yeast and spice. Flavour is moderate sweet and bitter with a dry finish. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.

33cl shared with & courtesy of Kermis. thin white head. Hazy blond pour. nice & refreshing, A nice beer.

blond/ orange colour, less foam than the usual. tastes like a typical belgian blond, onley a little more sweetness ( white sugar type) . very very little aftertaste, as i’m pleased by the struise also the right amount of gas. there is exactley what you need in a beer, and not so much it destroys your taste. good beer, if outside the struise. but for them i’d expected more complexity...

Cloudy orange with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, fruity, yeasty and spicy. Flavor is quite sweet and light bitter. Sweet finish. 060812

Color: golden with copper reflexion beer and with a small white head. Smell: yeast and that's all, without complexity. Taste: yeast and a few hoppy. Aftertaste: orange.

Bottle bought in Brussels in March 2012. Hazy golden with a medium white head. Fruity aroma with malt, some spices and yeast. The same in the taste. The finish was dry. An ok beer.

Wässriger Beginn, der im krassen Gegensatz zum fruchtigen Geruch steht. Hefige Noten sind rar, wässrig, zum Ende herber werdend. Im Abgang hefiger und angenehm bitter. Entäuschend! 9/6/9/7/7/6
