330ml bottle. Pours a hazy orange with a medium head. Aroma is slightly tart, touch of coffee and cardboard, as well. Taste has stewed fruits, with a low bitter finish.

Red amber coloured beer with average carbonation and a medium white head. Fruity hinted light yeasty aroma. Full palate. Finish is full malty, light bitter fruity and yeasty hinted. Very good.

Amber colored beer with and avereg smell and taste, but a bit watery, bit faint in my opinion.

Cloudy rust colour with little head. Aroma is of strawberries, cranberries, brown sugar and straw. Light mouthfeel, this beer has less character than the aroma leads you to believe. Taste is somewhat bitter, caramel and cardboard.

Bottle (2008) at home in London with Lyoli. Pours a hazy, rich orange-gold with a creamy, big white head. Aroma of Belgian yeast, candi, some caramel, golden raisins and some tart fruit. Sweet and fruity flavor, some caramel, slightly sour malts. Medium in body with average to lively carbonation. Somewhat bitter finish, some grass, bit more caramel and tartish fruits. Not bad.

Unclear orange with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, nutty and berries. Flavor is medium sweet. Dry finish. I had expected more. 210711

330ml bottle from Brewdog Online Store. Cloudy amber brown colour, reasonable head, lot of sediment. Sweet flowery aroma. Strong sweet flowery resin flavour. Bitter sweet aftertaste. Smells better than it tastes.

Bottle at home thanks to MesandSim. Exploded everywhere but calmed to a reddish copper with a thin to medium white head. I just love Struise beers. They all seem to have a complexity and depth of flavour that really floats my boat. Toffee, fruit, raisin, marzipan, lemons, herbs, Belgian yeast. I could drink a lot of this. Really do like this.
