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.

[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.

Pours a hazy orange with a nice sized head. Aroma is wheat and a light fruitiness. Nice sweetness and a beautiful creamy mouthfeel. Re-rate - Finally found Struise here in the Cities. Hallelujah. Tried a bottle I hauled back from England (thanks Mes) and a bottle I bought here. First rating was from a bottle in Brugge. Maybe that one was fresh? Today it was more tart, thinner palate. Not quite as good as before.

Thanks hophead75. Not sure if this bottle was infected or what. Pours a sickly looking murky yellow orange. The head is quick to form and disappear. Smells sour and acidic, which makes me think it may be infected, a little citrusy, a little rotten. The flavor is similar, biting acidity which I would not expect from this style. Old malts and a little citrus. I’ll need to revisit this one.

The color was pale peach and hazy. The head was very thin, fizzy, and disappeared quickly. The aroma was tart and musty. There might be something wrong with this bottle, because the aroma seemed off. The flavor bad. It was very tart with a rotten flavor. The palate was lively. The finish was abrupt. I couldn’t finish it; this is why I think there might have been an infection.

unfortunately I don’t remember much of this beer and my notes got spilled on... I know I enjoyed it and thought it was a very sessionable whit... I guess that’s all I have to say until I get it again.

Golden light blond coloured beer. Small white head. Malty aroma, little sprankling full palate. Finish is malty and herby. Ok.

Nice hazy golden body under a creamy and foamy white head. Creamy aroma too with citrus, vanilla. Lively carbonation brings the flavour of citrus and "fermented wheat". Citrus-sourish aftertaste. Fine, but let’s go tasting Pannepot! Pannepot rules the beerworld!
