May 4, 2009 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.

Mar 24, 2009 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.

Feb 28, 2009 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.

Feb 17, 2009 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.

Dec 30, 2008 Bottle from cgarvieuk--thanks Craig! Pale straw, lots of noisy white head. Buttery mineral nose, plums and light spice. Good sharp lactic bite, a touch of butter in the flavor as well. Short lemony finish. Bright, dry, refreshing. A few months of age on this bottle have accentuated what seems to me to be a very light, probably intentional lactic bacteria character. The acidity of that, I like. The diacetyl of that, not as much. Still, I dig this beer, and as a thirst-quencher it beats the sweeter sorts of Belgian wits by a wide margin.
