4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
UPDATED: SEP 17, 2010 Tasting glass at Pannepot Café @ De Struise Brouwers, Oostvleteren. Pours a hazy straw yellow, topped by a big white head - very inviting indeed. Nose is oats, sweet malts and hints of citrus. Much more aroma than in most wits. Taste includes more citric flavors as well as hay, grain and traces of nutty cereals. Fluffy, light aerial body which is super-drinkable. All in all delicious, and one of the best witbiers I’ve tasted.

Intense yellow of hay - medium head, rather dense and holding for a medium long time. In the nose, I smell citrus fruits & star fruit. First contact in the mouth is soft going over to a grapefruit taste and soft hops kicking in. Aftertaste is long & kindly bitter - lasts for a long time.
Given the brewing method, this is really a nice witbier! (They use Cantillon living yeasts for the fermentation)

Sat in the Schravenacker, love that place and I’m having a damn good time at this point but I do think I genuinely loved this and didn’t just get carried away. Bottle. Aroma was smooth (i know that’s not a smell) citrus, lemon and banana but with a little bit of Struise’s unique style. I really liked it. I sound like that fat irish talent judge nonce...
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Hazy yellowish orange, medium creamy head.
Aroma of banana, spices, citrus and some yeast.
Flavour is sour citrus with a weird metallic sidenote of spices and fruit.
Very dry, very refreshing, shame for the metal.

Generously poured by Carlo at de Struise brewery. Light golden pour with a good-sized white head. Aroma is light and very nice for the style-- excellent yeast, orange, and spice presence. Flavor follows suit, with some good subtle hop as well. Palate holds lively carbonation and is crisp and refreshing. Really tasty witbier.
2.3 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Golden yellow, hazy, with a minimal head. Aroma is herbal, citrus, some special(eastern?) herbs, a bit sweetish aroma. Herbal taste, slightly bitter, somewhat sweetish. An aroma ofold piss shows up when drinking. Not fresh. Light dry finish. Strange witbier imo.

12oz bottle pours hazy yellow orange with white head. Aromas of yeast, lemon, other citrus, champagne. Flavors of lemon, yeast, sourness, and light wheat. Finishes with a bit of sourness and active carbonation. Almost reminded me of champagne a little.
