Struise Witte offers a quintessential Belgian Witbier experience, showcasing the refreshing qualities of unmalted wheat and bright citrus. The sensory profile is defined by an inviting, milky-pale appearance topped with a dense, white foam. Aromas of bready grain and light honey meld with zesty orange peel and the delicate, peppery spice of lemony coriander. On the palate, the beer is exceptionally smooth, delivering sweet wheat notes and herbal complexity before concluding with a crisp, dry finish. High carbonation enhances its lively character, making it a balanced and sophisticated take on a traditional summer ale.
Appearance.Very pale straw with a characteristic milky, whitish-yellow cloudiness from starch haze. Features a dense, white, moussy head with good retention and light lacing.
Aroma.Moderate bready maltiness with light honey-like sweetness and grainy wheat aromatics. High notes of zesty, citrusy orange peel and moderate perfumy-lemony coriander with a subtle peppery herbal background.
Taste.Pleasant bready and grainy malt flavor initially, followed by moderate zesty orange-citrus fruitiness. Substantial but balanced herbal-spicy flavors of coriander lead to a low bitterness finish. Refreshingly crisp and dry without any harsh aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture from the wheat. Effervescent and lively due to high carbonation, providing a refreshing quality without any alcohol warmth or astringency.
