Draught at Pre ZBF, Alvinne, 06-03-09 Pours a murky puddly amber colour with light beige head. Some woodiness, nuts and alcohol are very much in eveidence on the nose along with good dollop of yeastiness. Taste is quite spirity, some tropical fruits, bit of boozy banana its quite nice but I found that the alcohol dominated a little too much at times. Interesting though. A7 A3 F7 P3 OV14 3.4

Draught @ Pre-ZBF Alvinne. A dark brown colored beer, with a creamy light beige head. The aroma is fruity, malty and there are flowers. The taste of brandy, fruits, flowery, alcohol well hidden. With some hints of wine/porto. The aftertaste is fruity.

on tap at Pre-ZBF pours hazy orange and brown with a thin tan head. Aroma was sweet with a sour fruit note. Flavors were nice with some sweet malt and an earthy sourness in the finish. Very interesting and complex flavors in the finish that I couldn’t explain.

From tap. Pours almost clear and golden orange with a small dense off-white head. Aroma is yeasty and malty with a light fruity note. Clear alcohol presence and dense malty flavoured. Slight wooden and spiced. Mild fruity and dense malty finish. The violet flowers really give this a different twist. There are however many other Struise beers better than this, but an interesting brew.

Draught Huge, very fine yellowish head, leaving textbook lace, over deep-red amber beer with slight haze. Pours like gushing from the tap. Almonds, perfume, toilet soap, rosepetals. Almonds, bit of oxydation, almondcake, rosewater. Medium bodied, very slick, pure gristfeel. Nice, if just a tad overperfumed. I was convinced rosewater had been added, until I learned about the violets...
