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

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.

Feb 14, 2009 Bottle. Big tanks to Peter in Belgium!
Pours nice hazy golden. Head is first big and creamy but then goes smaller.
I can´t really say what makes this different from the original...
The Speciale is fresh. Has vanilla, citrus, banana and crispy hops both in aroma and flavor.

Jan 17, 2009 Bottle no idea where I got this from? Consumed 17-01-09. Pours yeller’ with a white head. This surprised me by lacking the improvement over the standard version that I expected. Along with the usual cloves and banana I found that this was quite top heavy with a cornflakey taste, admittedly there was some biscuit and malt, overall I wasn’t overly fussed. A6 A3 F6 P3 OV10 2.8
