MIBRomeo (1889), Wisconsin, USA May 18, 2008 unfortunately I don’t remember much of this beer and my notes got spilled on... I know I enjoyed it and thought it was a very sessionable whit... I guess that’s all I have to say until I get it again.
thooper41 (237), USA 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. MrChopin (207), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA 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 (129), Seattle, Washington, USA Sep 16, 2008 Bottle.
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. SHIG (1554), Oberoffligen, Germany Sep 6, 2008 Bottle: Poured a brown yellow hazy with carbonation, medium lacing white head. Aroma is thick yeast/bread like, light citrus. Taste is sweet malty and yeast, not exactly what I think of when I drink a witte. Very interesting! kosko20 (145), Bemidji, Minnesota, USA Aug 25, 2008 Good looking beer. pale gold orange but with a beautiful white head and streaming bubbles. Aroma: pears, white grapes, hints of wheat and other fruity notes. Flavor: white grapes, very reminiscent of a white wine but actually tastes good. Also pears, wheat, and hints of other fruits. Seems like some spices are in there too. Palate is nice. It has a smooth body, light mouthfeel and the finish is on the dry end. Overall, impressive for a witbier, probably one of the better ones out there.
