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.

Prokroustis (361) - Thessaloniki, GREECE - AUG 20, 2011
Cloudy orange colour with a white head. Wheat, yeast, some faint orange and a medicinal note in the aroma. Watery palate. Citric flavour with lemon. A bit disappointing for a Struise.

Countbeer (1686) - Best of Eindhoven ohne Brauhaus, NETHERLANDS - AUG 19, 2011
Bottle: Medium fluffy white head on top of a hazy orange colored beer. Smell hops, citrus, wheat, yeast, some sweets, spices and barley malts. Taste is a nice balanced spicy, wheat, malt and hoppy beer with a touch from pilsner, but more bitter and spicy. Soft fruity hints with a nice herby warmth to it. Bitter (hoppy) malty aftertaste. Low carbo, soft mouthfeel but quick changing bitter light sharp mouthfeel, more than just a medium body and a watery texture.

Bottle at Antwerps Bierhuiske. Pale golden, nice white head. Wheat and spice aroma. Malty wheat flavor, maybe some spices. A bit boring.

Benzai (2298) - Oirschot, NETHERLANDS - JUL 12, 2011
Standard whitebeer color, nice firm head. Not much smell. Tasted a little less nice than a whitebeer generally does. Average beer.
