JanVittrup (72), København V, Denmark Jun 24, 2009 Straw colour, unfiltered fine foam. Looks better than the regular Hoegaarden.
Sweet/fruity aroma, less citrusy. Not so complex. More hoppy.
More character and taste than the regular.
Very balanced.
Fresh, quite (a little too) watery, thin body.
Wife likes it better than the regular. So do I. Great!
Purchased for 25dkr in Barley Wine.
imdownthepub (4731), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England May 31, 2009 Botlled, 250ml from Hopduvel, Ghent. Clouded yellow with white head. Very similar to it’s stablemate, spicy, cloves, corriander with the ripe banana note and a citrusy hop. Not sure that the bottle size is enough. It’s ok for a wheat. yobdoog (1021), Woodridge NY, New York, USA May 1, 2009 Thanks to Belgianbeergal, of course, for this one. Cloudy yellow orange glow with a small head that fades fast. Aroma is light spice and sweet candi sugar. Light yeast present. Taste is sweet and light . Smooth and very drinkable. I would say this one held up, thanks! jgb9348 (2402), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA Apr 1, 2009 Cloudy golden coloured body with a frothy dense white head. Aroma of wheat, coriander seed, pale malt, bright hops and a little sweetness. Medium-bodied; Strong malty flavour with alcohol, bananas, cloves and a bit of hops in the taste. Aftertaste shows some bitterness, a little sugars and a decent amount of alcohol! Overall, not a bad beer and worth trying if you can find it! I sampled this 25 cL bottle purchased at a small shop in Bruxelles, Belgium on 13-March-2008. tarjei (1589), Bryne, Norway Mar 17, 2009 25 cl bottle at Ris Ras, Århus - shared with Roger. Hazy yellow color, medium white head. Aroma is yeast and citrus/orange. Flavor is citric, fruity, malty with ok bitterness. davegore (195), liverpool, Merseyside, England Mar 17, 2009 Pours like a foggy night with a simple white head, slight aroma of oranges but after a few sips this was one beer I decided I didn’t want to continue on with, not nice Cletus (4314), Connecticut, USA Mar 10, 2009 Pours amber with a white head. Smells of honey, oranges, sweet malt. Tastes of caramel with some light spicy hints. Good, but I like regular Hoegaarden much more. hallinghansen (186), Odense SV, Denmark Mar 2, 2009 25 cl. bottle. Hazy yellow body, with a medium white head. Aroma is citrus and fruit. Flavor is fresh, with citrus and fruit. A refreshment.
