| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jun 15, 2009 I’ve tasted this gem many times before; the first was actually in Belgium. Hoegaarden is crisp, smooth and delicious. I had a glass yesterday at brunch. The color is very light; the head is quite thick; and the aroma is citrusy and refreshing. The taste is similaly fruity, though to a lesser degree. humulushound (113), British Columbia, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 14, 2009 This is the beer that started it all for me, so I admit to having a soft spot for it - Thanks to my university roommate for recommending it an having the appropriate glass. Still love sipping it out of that hoegaarden tumbler. Bright golden yellow throughout with a dense, billowing white crown. Aroma is citrus-sweet, yeasty and spicy blending into the tastes of ripe banana, grapefruit and bread with balanced undertones of coriander and orange zest. Mouthfeel is smooth and finish is refreshing with spice and zest lingering. This is truly a classic witbier that continues to entice over the years. Markys (64), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 13, 2009 Aroma of fruits, spices, banana and wheat. The flavor is pretty much the same as the aroma but weaker. It’s really a refreshing beer. Perfect lawn mowing beer. Gary (352), Buckinghamshire, England

Son of A Bitch its refreshing . Citusy ..spicy..with tart bitter backdrop. I don’t even wanna mention how eazy it is to consume. Like you wake up 25 miles from your home..sleeping on the side walk and you have no idea how you got there, you’re smiling and its all thanks to Hoegaarden.;) JanVittrup (144), København V, Denmark

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Jun 11, 2009 Banana, hints of menthol and citrus on the nose, nice and tart.Very aromatic. So nice and drinkable, smooth and thick. Buttery and rich but it isn’t too heavy. Flavour is quite full on, more to the point than some wits. Delicious. italarican (163), Astoria, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 11, 2009 Pours a hazy golden yellow with some body to the white head. There’s an aroma of grapefruit, passionfruit, orange, and lemon... a big bouquet of citrus. Floral and fruit flavors are predominant with a bit of spice and hops. A great summer beer I’m up for drinking any season. satan165 (562), River Grove, Illinois, USA
