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.

Pours a very bubbly , lightly hazy gold orange, with a thick, foamy well-retained white head. Smells of distinct orange citrus, wheat fenoles, and and yeast. The flavor is very profound on the citrus flavors. The orange seems to be the biggest character. The wheat seems to be lacking somewhat, as I didnt get much of the traditional banana or clove that I usually get for this style. Still not bad, but not what I was expectig.

It’s a strange wit with an absent spice character. Cloudy pour reveals a large head. Very minimal aromatics, not much to describe. Flavor is awfully sour and again, either unspiced or delicately spiced. Very sour and strange, I don’t like it much.

Pours hazy gold into a Tumbler. Yeast and citrus aromas. Light and refreshing, but not a significant amount of flavor.

The aroma is fresh, with coriander and lemon, but subdued. Prototypical wit in the appearance (hazy yellow gold), and solid, perfectly to style body. More citric, lactic than many wits - the lemon is very pronounced. It’s very thirst quenching, and I love the flavor despite it being unidimensional. The aroma is good but there is just not enough of it.

I can see what certain beer drinkers would like about this beer, but this falls a bit too tart for my general liking. malts are slightly thin, the tartness puts me off, I find this just barley drinkable.

Thanks to the Atlanta crew for sharing. Slightly cloudy light gold, pillow head that quickly disappears. Nose is lemon/citrus, slight clove, doughy malt. Flavor is fruit, yeast, clove, spice, doughy malt. Slightly acidic, bitter finish w. spice, dough.

Pours slightly hazy, pale yellow with a big (disappearing) head. Sweet flavor with a bitter finish. Aroma is wheaty, malty, yeasty, clover, coriander and bitter citrus fruit. One of the best witbiers I´ve ever had.

Hazy golden of color with a light white head. An aroma with notes of sweets, spice and orange. A flavor of wheat, citrus and spice.
