Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Ins Glas ergießt sich ein orange trübes Bier mit einer sehr hohen, mittelporigen Schaumkrone, welche aber leider schnell wieder verschwindet. Der Geruch ist hefig fruchtig, leicht säuerlich. Der Antrunk erfolgt ebenso. Hefe kommt gut durch, es ist spritzig fruchtig und angenehm säuerlich. Erinnert stellenweise an ein gutes Zoiglbier.

UPDATED: MAR 6, 2012 Bottle in Antwerpen, Belgium. Light orange hazy colour with a beige head. Complex aroma, spicy and fruity. Malty and spicy fresh flavour with some coriander.

Bottle: Light brown to off white head on top of a light cloudy darker orange colored beer. Smell light toasted malts, caramel, toffee, dough, spices, some hints of fruit and herbs. Taste is an ok mix of toasted malts, caramel, darker fruits, spices/herbs, yeast, some sweets but a bit more bitter. Low carbo, soft mouthfeel, medium body and a watery texture.

Not one of the best from hoegaarden. Coriander orange peel and yeast is a combination that doesn’t work for me I guess.

I really don’t like this beer. Guess the coriander is to blame mostly. Very herby beer, not my thing.

Malzig-hefiger Antrunk, fruchtiger Mittelteil, dezent malzig-bitteres Finish. Dabei gefällt der würzige am Mittelteil am besten. Empfohlene Trinktemperatur 2-3 °C. Test vom 10.2.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,10,10,9,6,9 - 9,15

330 mL bottle at Biermarkt in Toronto. Unfortunately, well past its prime. Flat and cardboardy. I’ll re-rate this when I get another bottle.

UPDATED: JAN 15, 2011 I got this beer at a good price.Hazy amber orange beer with small head.Medium sweet,light bitter,spicy,banana,some caramel,citrus fruits.Dry finish.It has a witbier feeling.The appearance of the bottle make you think that would be boring beer,but It is a good surprise.

Amber colored, light. Not much taste at all, really. Not much in the way of scent either. A rather boring beer. Not assertive at all. Supposed to be an aromatic beer—is it my runny nose that made me lose my taste buds? I can neither taste nor smell anything here. Maybe a little coriander…It’s not bad, but too clean.

25cl bottle. pours hazy amber, thick white head. Aroma is malty, some spices and floral hops. Taste, spices, orange peel, wheat, light roasted malts and yeasty, coriander finish and lightly bready. Elements of regular Hoegaarden minus the witbier side.
