A hazy orange beer with no head. The aroma is sweet wheaty with notes of oranges. The flavor is sweet and sour wheaty. A boring beer.

(Bottle 25 cl) Paler yellow and less hazy than the original Hoegaarden. Decent, white head. Marginally stronger, but exactly as refreshing and excellent. Still the typical witbier-notes, but I reckon this has less wheat and more barley. 160696

Bottled. Cloudy yellow. Stronger aroma of corander, cloves and orange peels. Sweet and rounded, firmly malty with notes of vanilla. Both flavourful and refreshing. Can Interbrew really brew a beer this brilliant?

25 cL bottle. Pours hazy yellow to orane with a white head. Sweet corn, belgian yeast and slight spiced. Great sweetish flavour with just a minor spiced note a underlying yeast flavour. Creamy mouthfeel and mellow flavour into the finish. Soft. Nice.

Bottle, 5.7%. Very citric orange peel aroma. Cloudy golden colour. Big, stable white head. Spicy flavour, a lot of clove, turning orange-flavoured. Semi-high bitterness for a witbier.
