2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/2033cl bottle from Geerts in Oostakker. It may just have been this bottle (though I could taste no flaws) but was not the best of SB. Terms like home-brew came to mind.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
33cl bottle at home.
Appearance: clear blonde beer, very unstable white head, rather flat.
Nose: malts, grains, some lemon, is this a pilsener?
Taste: rather bitter, some lemon, little too dry for me, but only thing coming in my mind is that this is a pilsener...
The least good Struise beer I had
5 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 20/20
Une très grande étiquette de cette belle région du Westoek.
Une sublime bière qui est un fleuron des triple belges.
Couleur blond doré brillant superbe. Clarté limpide.
Bulles très fines en fontaine au centre et présentes partout.
Mousse blanche qui vient napper à 2 mm, crémeuse.
Arômes très jolis de cônes de houblon, fleurs blanches, genièvre
et miel blanc non sucré.
1ère bouche à la texture soyeuse, superbe entre amertume et fruits blancs.
Arrière-bouche splendide avec des céréales.
2ème bouche magnifique, équilibrée, fine, fraîche avec d’autres nuances
de houblon.
3ème bouche encore plus construite, vraiment une pièce maîtresse.
Nuances prodigieuses de houblon et céréales.
Longueur où on amplifie encore le niveau. Absolument divin. Complexité
de houblons sublimes.
Levure très fine, de très belle veine, complexe.
Alcool bien, malgré son faible niveau (6% abv), très adapté au soutien de
cette bière.
Finale extraordinaire.
On est ici à 5 années lumière des bières pils, que certains appellent des blondes,
on est ici avec le fleuron des triple belges, qui sont certes des blondes, mais
de haut vol. Déguster cette bière permet d’entrer dans ce monde merveilleux.

Draft at Monks in April 2013. Clear gold pour. Large fluffy white head. Left unusual web lace. Nice dry floral notes. Sage. Lavender. Butter. Corriander. Toasted wheat. Green peppercorns. Tupelo honey. Apricot fuzz. Parsley. Lemon meringue pie. Interesting. Quite nice. Have had past versions of this that were not as good and felt a bit musty.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle at home. Clear golden pour, thin white head. Aroma is grainy, some aged cider, slightly sweaty hops. Flavor is bitter, a hint of sour apple and a bit messy. Not bad, but not really my kind of brew.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cerveza dorada. Calidad de principio a fin. Lúpulada, acaramelada, floral, cítrica. Cuerpo medio algo graso.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours hazy yellow with a small white head. Nose is sweet tropical fruits like pineapple, mango, banana, some spices like cloves and ginger and some light grassy notes. The taste is light sweetness with medium bitterness with the finish being mostly bitter. The mouthfeel is creamy, the body is heavy and the finish is long.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Draft at Bainbridge St, pours a clearish gold, aromas of wet wood, must, and light malt and hops. Taste is old lady, moth balls, and opium, and honestly that’s a dead on description of taste if you’ve ever experienced any of those 3. A little sweaty for me but ok.
