33 cl bottle from Bert’s Bierhuis @ home - BB 04/13. Pours a golden yellow color, a bit hazy (before I added the yeast), white head, that didn’t last long. Aroma’s of citrus/orange peel, spices, sweetness, wheaty fruitiness. Flavor is lightly sweet and spicy. Somewhat dry & lightly bitter finish (unexpected but pleasant). Nice and flavorful interpretation of a witbier.

33 cL bottle from the Struise Yeast Shop online, expiry April 2013, served in a tulip. Pours cloudy golden with a medium, dense white head. The head fades slowly to a thin cover and leaves a small amount of fine lace. The nose has notes of pale malts, wheat, citrus and yeast along with hints of flowers and spice. The flavour is dry and quite spicy, with notes of lemon, grass and banana. The spiciness builds towards the end, and endures through a long finish. On the palate, it is medium in body with a smooth milky texture and soft carbonation. Overall, this is an interesting wit; the aroma is a little different from most and the flavour is quite a bit spicier. I liked it, but it was less refreshing than I was expecting. 2011-04-30
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Light, brilliant straw color. Small white head with decent lacing. Aromas of banana, yeast and malt. Slightly dry and sweet. Banana flavor mixed with a little bit of alcohol. Malt and bread. Nice balance. Little bitter and slightly carbonic from the high carbonation level. Decent beer. Not a wit though.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
11.2oz bottle shared with Carlo at De Struise...Pours a light hazy gold that is still semi clear. A light off white head, light and fades pretty quickly with light lacing...The aroma is yeast, lemon, spice, and a touch bitter. Its not the typical wit aromas, nice originality but not entirely working for me...The taste is light lemon, spicy, yeast, has a very champaign like quality from the yeast and dryness of the drink. The finish to harsh and dry for me, so despite its intent as a crusher beer its a tad difficult for me to drink.
Not my fav De Struise beer, I’d skip it next time around.
