| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 10, 2008 Fizzy with thin head. Aroma of cotton candy. Sweet and sour bubble gum flavor with no finish. Fair. marcus (1878), Sacramento, California, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 18, 2008 This hazy yellow beer poured with a rich white head and a banana aroma. It’s rather hearty for a wheat beer and is nicely spiced - not too much. BeerBelcher (943), Columbus, Ohio, USA
| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Oct 22, 2008 I ended up with this at the Delirium Cafe due to some confusion from a not-too-beer-savvy bartendress and something of a language barrier. I wish I would have had something else, as I was not impressed.
This beer is almost clear with a light yellow tinge. Head is a pretty thorough coating of universally-sized bubbles not different from a macro-lager. Aroma was very faintly wheat-y, but there was not much there...maybe a touch of sugar. Flavor is slightly bitter grainy-ness in the back of the mouth with some citrus notes. Flavor seemed awfully unbalanced - lots of malt but not much else. I was unimpressed.
I would not recommend this beer. I had this from a bottle at the Delirium Cafe in Brussels. ARMed (486), Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 16, 2008 Its tough for me to find a strong flaw in this beer becuase it is exceptionallly easy to drink and has a fantastic unique flavor with a great body (all of the most desirable elements of a truly great beer in one’s eyes). One minor drawback is that the head quickly disaapates rather than lingers around the glass. However, the high carbonation keeps you wanting more. The slightly sour undertones are very appealing and make me think it is similar to a German gose beer. A very great brew by Struise that now makes me want to try all thier beers! movezig (137), Pensacola, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Oct 16, 2008 Pretty good white. Sort of lacked in taste my only problem. Comparing to hoegaarden or bernardus. Nose was good some light vanilla, light fruit, acidic character. Flavor has the same, light vanilla but a bit more acid and fruit. Was a nice white. Only Struise im able to get around here :(. Very light palate. thooper41 (384), Oregon, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 8, 2008 11.2 oz bottle: pours a hazy light brown with slow fading white head, aroma filled with yeast wheat and some slight citrus fruit, full bodied flavor lots of wheat some yeasty notes along with some spices fruit and slightly sour. very well made beer IMO.

| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/20 | Sep 20, 2008 Updated: Sep 27, 2008Opaque gold/yellow with a large white head, long-lived and foamy. Nose of oranges, yeast, wheat, and cottage cheese. What? Flavor is equally as confusing and mismatched, sour and spritzy yet lactic and cheesey, orange, pepper. Palate is fizzy yet sickeningly creamy. I am lost with this one. Of those I have tasted, easily the worst Struise beer. Bad even for any beer. Feinschmecker (188), Seattle, Washington, USA

Carbonated, hazy orange color with a fruity yeasty aroma. I find that this beer drinks easy and has a sweet and light flavor. The yeast component forms a major part of the flavor as well. Struise witte is definitely lacks the coriander aspect I come to expect from this style, but this is very drinkable and I can imagine putting away a couple of these on a sweltering summer day.
