Struise Witte

Brewed by De Struise Brouwers
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Oostvleteren, Belgium

Serve in Tumbler, Weizen

Pours a cloudy yellow. Nose is lemon, citrus, clove and yeast. Flavor is a refreshing citrus, grassy and a pleasant sour tartness. This is my favorite wit on earth.

Bottle. Clover honey color with a fine white head. Smells like socks and cheese. Some hops, some malt, kind of gross. Flavor is better - hay, cheese, sourdough, bread, faint vinegar, musty. Not my favorite Struise by a long shot.

Above average tasting beer again from Struisse. Pours light translucent orange with some white head, that later leaves lace teasting in the glass. Soft mouthfeel, with after tongue tingling. Orangey citrus flavour. Slightly below average smell of the spice. Nicely drinkable blend.

Light golden color with a white head that seems a bit fizzy and diminishing. Nearly cloying sweet aroma with wheat and light fruit of peaches and raisins. Hints of oranges, white chocolate and caramel. Not smelling many wit qualities. Crisp with some mild acidity. A little bit of orange peel. Seems like a very odd wit.

hazy gold under medium sized white head. different, subdued, delicate aroma with notes of vinegar. slightly tart. flavor again has a cidery, vinegar touch, tart sourness. crisp bubbly palate. not your typical wit.

Struise’s approach to a Witbier? Hit or miss in my opinion, as show the ratings. Pours mildly hazy golden with thin white head. Aroma was just the opposite of what I am used to with a Wit. A bit vinegary, skim milk/mold like cheese whiff gives the aroma a mild lactic nose that is followed by a fresh honey scent. This one has a very "old farm" smell that I remember from growing up in Belgium. Not sure if it was the intended aroma. Taste, light tartness and yeasty mouthfeel. Keeps some apparent profile of the aroma with lactic mold and light tartness with a sweet lingering honey on the palate. Spices are hidden and I could only notice them within the crisp bubbly palate. Either this is the intended taste or this beer is overly infected.

bottle, pours clear gold, small white head. Aromas are powerful with orange, honey, some yeast. Very flavorful orange and wheat with a light yeast spicyness. Long lingering wet mouthfeel. Nice.

Süßlich-fruchtiger-hefiger Geruch in gutem Verhältnis. Leichter Antrunk, etwas hefig, leicht säuerlich. Leicht malziger Mittelteil, dann direkt wieder hefig. Herb-saurer Nachgeschmack. Etwas zu mild.
