Hoegaarden Speciale

250ml bottle bought in Gent. Deep golden colour with a big white head. Aroma of yeast, orange peel, grain and spice. The flavour had plenty of yeast, winter spices and citrus, with an enjoyably tart finish. Enjoyable.

Bottle. Medium head with medium duration. Color is golden. Aroma and taste are yeast, wheat malt and fruit.

Hazy golden yellow colour with a bright white head. Aroma is spicy and yeasty. This is sharp and refreshing but also has enough body and depth of flavour to stand up as something special compared to a standard white beer.
