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.

Typical, whitish yellow color, very hazy and turbulent. Aroma is complex, fruit, spicy and slightly malty. Flavor begins on the sweetish side, but dries to a plesant finish. Exceeded my expectations, nice wit.

Creamy, mid-sized white head. Cloudy off-white/golden body with orange hues, looks pulpy. Good retention throughout the duration. Tropical fruit notes bring in the aroma, with noble hops, and soft grains. the focal point of the fruit is pineapple(esters), banana(wheat) and orange(coriander), a combination that blends together to seem almost like the juice that contains these three fruits you’d find on a supermarket shelf. Alcohol is not noticeable. Hints of wheated malt round out the nose. Wheat is far more apparent in the flavor, which is quite tart. Some background citric acidity captures and restrains overzealous yeast. Lactic notes present. The mouthfeel is smooth, milky and slightly grainy. Finish is smooth, but far from clean; rather, it’s a clouded cluster of spicy wheat and yeast with hints of fruit. Pretty tasty but not something I’m interested in sampling again.

330 ml bottle. Beautiful apperance; A dense and stable white head over a hazy greyish yellow body. Lots of ripe banana in the aroma along with notes of perfume, bubblegum and sweetish wheat. Clean and rounded taste; sweet citrus, mild spices and malt/wheat. Proper body. Smooth mouthfeel. Appears as a successful mixture of a German Weisse and a Belgian Wit. Very inviting, very drinkable.

Bottle sampled on 3/12/07: Pours a clear pale golden with an airy, frothy white head. Aroma of sweet pale Belgian malt with a touch of coriander. Starts mildly sweet with a nice, earthy, bready dry yeasty balance with nice light spice. A very drinkable and enjoyable wit.

Oddly warm and humid in Brussels today, and my 33 cL bottle on my front porch poors a hazy gold-yellow with a rocky, disappearing head. Light, yeasty aroma with some faint lemon and cereals. Flavor has some light sourness and mild bitterness, a bit peppery. No strong flavors in any direction. Light mouthfeel, somewhat thin. Nicely dry. No obvious spicing or silliness. Just a refreshing and well-made witbier. Would be a fine summertime session beer.

33cL bottle. Nice springtime witbier. Poured slightly hazy, orange/straw colour and a white head. The head quickly dissolved. Slightly thin mouthfeel but a crisp finish. Above average offering for witier though.
