Struise Rosse

Bottle shared by grimreeser. Pours orange with an off white head. Great nose of sweet banana and belgian esters. Lighter side of medium bodied. Nice light citrus, banana, and nutty flavors, but not too heavy. Refreshing but full of flavor. Great session beer

Bottle@Monks Cafe, Stockholm Appearance: Golden yellow with a generous head that vanishes all to quickly. Aroma: Fruit, Grain, Berries, Citric Notes. Flavor: Exotic fruit, Citric notes, Yeast, Wheat, Berries. Palate: Very refreshing and balanced, like a lambic-wannabe. Lots of carbonation. A lambic wannabe ? :) Not an exceptional brew but definitely something i would consider drinking again. Very nice on a hot summers day!

33cl, brew Anno 2007, from Geers Oostakker, complex, yet easy to drink, cloudy, small head, nice brew

Hazy orange with a monster for head. Lots of spicy coriander and fruits in the aroma. Uhm, it’s sooo refreshing! Sweet oranges, vanilla and biscuits make out the flavours of this wonderful amber ale.

Bottle, from cgarvieuk. Thanks Craig! Hazy but attractive copper/orange. Persistant butter colored head, lingering there patiently while I wait for the glass to warm up a bit. The smell of my parents back garden in spring: on one side, rhubarb stalks pushing up through the cool wet soil. On the other side, the compost pile begins to warm in the sun, a year’s worth of coffee grounds, leaves and grass clippings mouldering their way back to soil. Back inside, my mom bakes a pumpkin pie, and cinnamon and nutmeg waft outdoors, subtly perfuming the air... Dry rhubarb fruit flavor, with a big menthol mineral bite. Lingering tart prickly chalk. Messy and unfocused, but full of snap and life. A true farmhouse sort of beer, rustic and unsophisticatedly pleasing. Go on: call it a saison.

Had at Cambrinus in bruges on 6/21. Pours medium amber with a medium white head. Floral aromas domionate, but additional notes of spice and yeast are detectable. Really like the taste, which has striong, but not dominant, vineous notes. Very well balanced. Very nice beer.

2007 bottle thanks to Craig! Poured hazy medium amber with a short, well-retained cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up a distinct Belgian yeast impression showcasing cloves, cinnamon, and floral notes.. medium-skinned and darker fruits gave some influence.. quite inviting. The flavor had fruits that tended toward the darker side.. spicy yeast (white pepper and coriander among others) hit toward the middle.. dried fruits return on the finish.. tasty and well balanced. Medium-bodied or a tad lighter on the palate with a dry, spicy feel to it.. higher carbonation. Very good brew!

(Bottle) Pours grayish brown. The aroma is spicy, floral. fruity and perfume-ish with nutty and yeasty undertones. The flavour is light fruity, spicy, floral and nutty with a dry finish. Bit sourish and yeasty. Medium bodied.
