Struise Witte

11.2 oz bottle. Clear pale honey with a whipped white head that continued to rise after the pour. Nose is pleasant, but very light, clover and lemon. This is an odd one. Bready tomatillos, bubblegum and under-ripe peach; dry coriander. Light with light carb.

11.2 fl. oz. bottle from Beertopia in Omaha. Pour is a slightly hazy gold with a bunch of carbonation bubbles and a one inch white head. The carbonation looks like a mini storm in the glass and continued for quite a long time. Aroma of some graininess, earthy and maybe a bit of corn? Overall a pretty muted aroma. Taste of wheat grain and some bright citrus tartness with a bit of sour. Body is somewhat thin, though makes it easy to drink. Finish is pretty brief. This one is refreshing, easy to drink and not much beyond that. I actually had pretty high hopes for this one, but didn’t quite stack up.

33 Cl Bottle-Hazy golden color w/a slight white head. White grape aroma. Very much like drinking a dry white wine, Some citrus & white grape flavors w/a fair amount of carbonation. Too one dementional, no spices or sweetness to it at all. I’d pass on this one next time.

Pours a foggy gold. White head. Nose is like a chocolate banana bread. But no real strong character from either of those two that really give distinction. It’s really just a vague hit that I get that I am pulling. Airy citrus. Flavor is a bitter citrus that has a kick me in the mouth tang. Calms down over time, but it stays there. Feel has a decently bodied liquid feel and the carbonation is good. Overall the verdict is that it’s pretty good, but definitely not worth the price. Even though it’s a pretty good one, hindsight leads me to feel like I wouldn’t have missed anything if I had passed on trying this one.

I can see what certain beer drinkers would like about this beer, but this falls a bit too tart for my general liking. malts are slightly thin, the tartness puts me off, I find this just barley drinkable.

The aroma weak and malty but it is also spicy and sour elements. The appearance is hazy gold with a nice head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is this. Overall I don’t care much for this one.

(33cl bottle, courtesy of DerDoppelbock) Hazy, golden coloured effervescent hue with a big and creamy white foam, slowly lacing. Yeasty, moderately sweet and wheaty nose with strong spicy notes of coriander and clove, plastic-like phenols, but rather restrained citrus-fruity aspects. Light-sweet flavour, moderate wheat-character accompanied by strong spicy notes and a subdued fruitiness; light to medium bodied with a carbonation that could be a bit more spritzy; light-acidic, spicy and slightly sticky finish. Not that convincing.

Bottle. Light light unclear yellow orange color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly diminishing, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, wheat, moderate yeasty, citrus, notes of strawberry. Flavor is moderate sweet with a average duration. Very complex, tastfull and refreshing. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. ;o)) (111007)
