Struiselensis

Brewed by De Struise Brouwers
Style: Sour Ale
Oostvleteren, Belgium

11.2oz bottle via trade. Pours a murky pale orange color with a fizzy off white head that dissipated to a small ring within seconds. Nose of Brett, sour peach and some barnyard funk. Flavor was not overly sour, just right for me.

33cl bottle. Beer poured an orange straw color, a bit cloudy with an thick white head. Nice brett notes in the nose, some definite fruit tones as well. The taste is nice and tart, some sour cherry and other fruit notes. There is also a touch of a hop character on the back end that makes for a very well rounded beer. This beer really says that it is a gueze or lambic but it wonderful either way.

Dark hazy brownish-yellow with a quick thin white ring. Aroma is musty, yeasty, citrus, lemons. Taste is a nice vinegar, white wine, citric acidity. A nice and not overpowering sour.

Bottle. Pours a hazy gold with a short lived one finger white head. The nose is sour grapes, funk and wet hay. The taste is white wine vinegar, crabapple, funky yeast. Medium prickly mouthfeel. Good stuff.

Slightly hazy apple cider color, small white head, steady effervescence but no lasting lace. Aroma of tart apples couples with a cheesy funk, very nice. On the flavor, the tart apple leads and the brett funk finishes. There’s an element in the middle like soap or apple peel, not exactly off but not well harmonized with the rest, either. Light to medium body, sparkling in the mouth, very refreshing, smooth afterfeel.

Der Geruch erinnert mich an.. nun ja...ein Nudelgericht, würzig, obergärig, etwas sauer. Würziger Antrunk, der erhalten bleibt, saurer, aber doch milder Ton, der sehr eigen daherkomt. Etwas erinnert das Ganze auch an sehr milder Geuze, dabei vollmundig und gut ausbalanciert. Mittellanger Nachgeschmack ingenau diesem Ton, etwas sauer mit fruchtigen Nuancenm etwas nach Melone, Apfel und Zitrone, überaus erfrischend!

11.2 oz. bottle - Poured hazey golden straw color with small head. Aroma - sour lemon, bubble gum and green apples. Flavor - tart apple and lemon. Palate- medium mouthfeel with below average carbonation. Finish is slightly dry and tart. Overall - I have very little experience when it comes to Sour Ales but thought this beer was fairly good.

33cl bottle at max’s 36h of Belgium. Hazy gold with a big white head. Aroma is really bretty and sour lemon with some light honeyish malt and spice. Clean tart lemony flavor with pale malts underneath. Not intensely sour or complex, but just really refreshing and drinkable. medium bodied with smooth carbonation. The brett and pedio seem to really take the wheel here, but you can’t really complain.
