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.

I guess I just had too high expectations for this beer, because it seemed like every other wheat beer. Pours hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma of wheat, citrus, and some spices. Dry finish, decent beer.

Tashi’s house, 28/05/08. Bottle courtesy of Mes and Reakt. Hazy yellow with a persistent line of head. Aroma of wheat, honey, oats and oranges. Flavour is similar and I enjoyed the lack of overly harsh citrus notes.

The beer was hazy gold, with a lot of quickly dissipating white foam. In the aroma there was wheat, coriander, sweet banana, and alcohol. The flavor was tart citrus wheat with a faint amount of barnyard. Almost a lemonade finish. This would be great on a hot day!

Bottle at tasting at Chris Fischer’s (from Liars Club) house. Pours with a gold body topped by a medium thick head wtih a good amount of lacing. It’s slightly sour with a hint of apple and other fruits. Light bodied and dry.

[bottle] Poured a slightly hazy straw gold with a huge, lasting off white head. Aroma is surpisingly tart, lots of citrus, delicous yeastiness, and lemon grass. Flavor is strikingly tart. Nice citrus characteristics, great yeast flavors, and plenty of wheat. Finishes with a lasting tartness. Edit: Based on previous postings, this bottle may also have been infected, but it sort of reminded me of the JP Calabaza Blanca, I might have to come back to this one later.

Very fruity with a golden color and decent foam which disappears rather quickly. Acidity is well controlled despite its rather strong citrus aromas.
