Brewed by Brouwerij Hoegaarden (InBev)
Style: Belgian Strong Ale
Hoegaarden, Belgium

As DougShoemaker commented when I ordered this one, it should definitely not be forbidden. A nice dark reddish amber body with Sweet fruity malt present in both the aroma and flavour. Interesting finish and pleasant mouthfeel. I really enjoyed this one and may give it another go at some point as my palate my not have picked up all the complexities this far into the evening.

Nice, lacks some creaminess in palate. No bitterness in the aftertaste, only an alcohol warmth with the carbonation tingle. I've heard of people warming beers with a poker in winter, if I ever try that this might be the one, I suspect it is light enough to be quite warm without overpowering and has the sweetness to caramelise from the poker, If I had a fire I'd try it now in fact.

Dark amber, with a creamy offwhite head. Has a fruity and yeasty aroma. Has a rather complex flavor, but most of al lit is sweet, probably from the alcohol that comes through. Rather mild finish.

Estery, fruity. Wheat, yeast, medium malts. Light metallic bitterness. Dark copper red cloudy with tan foamy lacing head. Medium watery body with light carbonation. Sweet taste, wheaty & malty. Light alcohol & estery. Decent malty wheat beer taste. Light bitter finish, nutty sweet bitter after.

Fruity aroma. A good beer, but nothing special. Taste is not as complex as other belgian beers.

Coriander and orange peel dominate this beer. Tasty and sweet with a nice nose. Moderate feel on the palate. A nice beer for warm weather.

Hoppy and fruity aroma. Chestnut color, almost looks like a light red wine, nice big head. Crisp and clean taste, some fruityness. Nothing special. Bottled

things and stuff and things and I remember having such a hoopla in this state over nekkid boddies on the label. Heaven forbid - or the alscohol commission.
