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.

A: Pours a hazy golden yellow color with a towering head. The head dies down nicely to half a finger and hangs around until the end. S: Very natural smelling. Citrus, yeast rolls, and wet hay. There is a hint of spice in there as well. Coriander I believe. T: The citrus is there front and center. It gives way to a mild spiciness before you are treated to a citrus finish. There is a mild underlying biscuity sweetness. M: Light and sparkling. Refreshing.

Bottle... Poured a hazy, golden/orange with a slightly, off-white fizzy head that dissipated quickly. Aroma of tart, buttery tones, date fruits, apricots, and honey-like notes. Most noticeably in the brew is the raisin like, fortified wine character which are really nice. The malts shine through in the finish. Grassy and earthy all the way through. Really solid witte. One of the best I’ve had.

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow with a white head, short duration. First aroma is typical wheatbeer, citrusy wheat nose, korianderbread. Then after swishing a whole different experience, barnyard, saddlesoap and other lambic associated aroma’s. MF a bit too dull, low carbonation. Flavorbalance definitely with some sour which tastes kind of awkward for a wheatbeer. Overall a curious beer. Not bad, but not what I expected either.

Courtesy ChzMan. Hazy yellow/gold. Small, dense, white head. Big time fruity witbier nose- banana, various light fruits, lightly tangy wheat, fresh grains, citrus zest, generic spice. Same flavors, crisp. Medium body, well carbonated, dry finish. One of the better witbiers I’ve had. From notes.

The bottle looks simple, but good. The beer in the glass light yellow, nice creamy head. Starts mild, yeasty-sourish, notes of lemon. The finish gets more and more dry, almost a bit floury. Still quite drinkable. Not bad!

Hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma of doughy and mildly estery yeast, and lemon, along with light floral and musty qualities. Flavor is a touch tart, with lots of lemon, a touch of vanilla and yeast esters. Medium bodied, carbonation was a bit intense at first, but settled down nicely. Somewhat dry in the finish. ྫ.2 oz bottle)
