Hoegaarden Verboden Vrucht

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

Bottle. Used to be one of my favourites, flavour has changed a bit. Dark brownish/purple colour, off-white head. Aroma of sour dark fruits, malts. Flavour is sweet and dark fruits, a bit sour. Lots of carbonation. Out of the ordinary, definitely worth a try.

When I ordered this I didn’t realize it was made by Hoegaarden. Pours a hazy amber color, thin white head. Aroma is fruity with sweet malt as well. Dark fruit and alcohol is present in the flavor. Solid beer though.

what a great fusion between good belgian beer, and witbeer. still reminds me of delicious flavors from hoegaarden witbeer, but has like double the strength, and color. if you like belgian and like the hoegaarden flagship, this one will mke you weep. low score is because it is, after all, an in-between tryng to straddle two types that cannot be.

33 cl bottle, bought in Oostende - shared with Roger. Slightly brown color, very big beige head. Aroma is hoppy and fruity, sweet malt, hints of sourness, wood. Flavor is malty, dried fruit, wood, hops, hints of sourness. Dry finish.

330 ml bottle. hazy amber colour. small off-white head. spicey flavor with alcohol present.

...bottle. Dark, almost burgundy brew, with a dark brown lasting head with great lacing. Heavy dark fruits on the nose, with hints of alcohol. Heavy bodied mouthfeel, slightly spicy with notes of grape, raisins, plums and other similar dark fruits. The finish is fruity, lingering and has alcohol warming. A damn good beer, that should be enjoyed.

33cl, Bierhalle Republic Glasgow. Darkish, fruity indeed, very berry. Good sweet beer for a high alcohol content. Lovely jubbly.

33cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex brew, cloudy, very small head, nice brew
