Struise Witte

Brewed by De Struise Brouwers
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Oostvleteren, Belgium

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a large sized head of foamy white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a slightly hazy yellow colored body and a thick foamy lacing. The mild aroma was bready and coriander. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish but there was something off the mark about it in the background. Too old? The creamy flavor contained notes of mild hops and breads. An OK brew just nothing special.

Pours pale yellow, sparkling and cloudy. Small white head, fades very quick. Citrus and spice nose. Flavor is citrus, little bit sourness. Long dry finish to end. Medium beer, not that special.

330. Thanks, CSchwaz! Pours a cloudy, very pale yellow. Light white fizz. Nice tangy lemon and spice nose. Creamy medium body. Lemon and spices on the mid-palate. Nice tang to it. Mild tart finish.

Bottle 33cl. Pours a clear light yellow colour with little head and a good amount of carbonation. Very wheaty and sour smell to it. Taste is very pleasant with citrusfruits there as well as wheatyness and a good sense of sourness.

Ok beer. Poured with a white head that quickly faded to a small amount on the surface and almost no lace. Color is hazy medium amber. Aroma is different: yeast, leather, earth, wood, and malt. Flavor is malt, tart, bread, yeast, and cookies. Interesting play between good carbonation and softness in the body. Decent finish. Could maybe be a session beer.

33cl bottle. Pours sparkling gold with orange-tan highlights and a deep cloudiness. The head is medium-white and fades quickly - no lace. The aroma is tart and fruity with orange, grape, and currants. There are also notes of wood and subtle alcohol. The flavor starts very dry and acidic like white wine (though not quite as dry or nearly as acidic as a dry white wine) with wheat flavor and some currants. Mid-palate reveals light earthy hops and tasty, sweet honey malts. The finish is dry and earthy with lots of wheat flavor and lots of tartness. The mouthfeel is crisply carbonated with a spritzy, medium body. Overall, a unique and interesting witbier - funky, woody, earthy, sour, and distinctly Belgian.

Pours a cloudy yellow. Nose is lemon, citrus, clove and yeast. Flavor is a refreshing citrus, grassy and a pleasant sour tartness. This is my favorite wit on earth.
