Bottle of 300 ml @ home. The bottle has a yellowish label, so I thought at first that it was an alcohol free version of the Hoegaarden Citron. Anyway. Poured into a weizen glass. Colour is lile the original’s Hoegaarden, camomile like, only less hazy and actually semi-transparent. Head is creamy with a white colour, two fingers in height, very quickly becoming just half a finger. There, it stays for quite long. Activity in the glass is a average. Aroma is quite similar to the original Goegaarden, with citrus fruits, only much stronger lemon aroma, and sort of artificial too. Taste is mostly of lemons and a corn syrup aftertaste left behind. Not so strong as with other alcohol free beers though and at least it doesn’t linger that long in your mouth. Thin on the body as expected and light carbonation. Overall a nice alcohol free beer, for those times you’re not allowed to have a normal beer.

Can 330ml. @ The Danish Summer Gathering, TFODRBSG12, Ulfborg.

Unclear matt light yellow colour with a average to large, frothy, good lacing, mostly to fully lasting, white head. Aroma is light malty, moderate yeasty, citrus, lemon, spicy, coriander. Flavour is moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20120818]

Can 330ml @ fonefan
Pours slightly hazy golden with a white head. Aroma has notes of malt and lime. Taste is light sweet and light bitter. Body is light, texture is thin, carbonation is soft.

Can. A hazy, yellow-orange beer topped by a small, dense, white head. Rather lemony nose, almost like a radler, leaving little room for coriander, wheat and orange peel. In the flavor the lemon is weaker, but still overpowering the other flavors one expect from a Hoegaarden. Medium body, quite dry. Quite drinkable, but it’s not much beer flavor or aroma going on. 120818
