Commercial Description:
The Noordhoek Ostrich Farm and Resort has been offering visitors an oasis of silence, tranquility and green pasture since 1997. In 2001 we began offering our guests fresh, homemade ale, "Struise Witte" was born. The dutch word for "ostriches" is "struisvogels" or "Struise", but the same word can also mean "sturdy" or "robust". This "Robust White" is a living wheat beer of high fermentation, unfiltered and unpasteurized. Brewed with natural ingredients, bottle conditioned in 33 cl bottles.

Bottle: Straw colored, slight haze, moderate frothy white head, few rings of lacing, light carbonation.   Very dull pale fruit on the nose.   Muted citrus.   Starts out dry and tart, a little puckering.   Minor wheatiness, but lacks the spices one associates with the style.   Very dull overall.   Moderate body and mouthfeel, at best.   Tiz a bit spritzy on the tongue.   Finishes rather boringly.   Very lacking, and certainly not what I expected from Struise.

Massive head atop, a dark, hazy straw. Very highly carbonated, quite exciting visually to watch the activity in the glass. Aroma of yeast, citrus, even a little smoke. Nicely balanced flavor, lemon finish.

Clear golden pour with a good size white head. Citrus and some fruits. Lots of carbonation with hints of citrus and yeast. Thin mouth feel with a dry finish.

bottle. Pours hazy golden with a thick white head. Aroma of yeast, wheat and some spices and floral notes. Flavor is wheat, coriander, and orange, with some herbal, earthy notes. Finishes dry. Good wit, but not as groundbreaking as the other Struise beers I’ve tried.

Bottle from theisti. Pours a very hazy straw color with a thick foamy head with frothy lacing. Nose is fresh lemons and a little yeast. Taste is a very crisp lemon twang mixed with yeast and carbonation. Drying finish. This beer really reminds me of a weak lambic/gauze beer in terms of mouthfeel. Seems a bit over carbonated for a Wit...but I really enjoyed this beer. Thanks Tim.

Pours hazy gold into a Tumbler. Yeast and citrus aromas. Light and refreshing, but not a significant amount of flavor.

Bottle sampled. Pours a hazy pale yellow with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma of wheat, yeast, citrus, and some fruit notes. Flavor is moderatly sweet with wheat, citrus coriander, light fruit, and some fresh spices with a clean and dry finish. A decent brew
