cmillward (235), Orlando, Florida, USA Aug 3, 2008 Tasted 07/12/08, poured from a bottle.<br />
Pours blonde with a fizzy small white head that reduces to a nice tight bubbled ring leaving some lacing. On the nose, slight tartness, hints of honey, apples, grape skins, brett spiciness, wheat, floral aromas. To the taste a little tart, sweet, wild flowers, grapes, a pronounced impression of grape skins, and an Orval-like spicy/warming brett. Drying finish, well bodied.
marcus (1118), Sacramento, California, USA 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 (800), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA 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 (437), Garnet Valley, Pennsylvania, USA 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 (136), Pensacola, Florida, USA 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 (241), 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.
