Hoegaarden Speciale

Brewed by Brouwerij Hoegaarden (InBev)
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Hoegaarden, Belgium

Cloudy dull beige. Tart and wheaty aroma. Wheaty flavours, lots of orange character. Lots of dusty yeast notes, too. Not as bright as regular Hoegaarden, but doesn’t up the complexity either. So, kind of pointless, despite there being nothing particularly wrong with it technically.

Bottle (25 cls), bought in belgium. Very good wheat beer, spicy, malty with a sweet biterness. Cloudy orange color, very nice.

Bottle at home. Unclear, light yellow with a large white head. Aroma moderate malty, light yeasty. Flavor moderate sweet, light acidic. Light body, average carbonated.

Hazy blond and slightly darker than the white hoe. Aroma is wheaty, corriander and citric but not of the strenght of the original. Flavour is less wheaty with more sweet malt and less cloying. Finishes with a nice bitter and spicy touch.

Bottle. Cloudy blonde, good head. Nice spicy aroma, good flavour and palate. Would like to try this alongside with the regular though.

<!-- i -->250ml Bottle from Beers of Europe<!-- /i -->. A cloudy blonde witbier with a fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet and spicy. Flavour is thick, sweet malt and spice. Yeasty. A good wheat beer.

Golden hazy yellow with big thick white head. Fresh aromas, citric, banana and yeast. Quite full-bodied. No apparent taste at first, then turns sweet and fruity. Ends on a slightly bitter and sweet spicy note.

Bottle. Syrupy golden beer with a strong white head. The aroma is lightly lemon and orange peel, and the flavour is weakly citric. Overall a plain wheat beer.
