delnoche (210), Germany Apr 27, 2009 30cl bottle poured into weizen glass. Cloudy yellow with ample frothy head. Smells spicy and sweet. Tastes like orange peels. Not bad but tastes very watered down. ketchepillar (475), Viña del Mar, Chile Apr 26, 2009 Aroma is very nice-lots of banana, light citrus spice, some phenols. Flavor could definitely be more assertive, but I suppose it drinks easier this way. Some clove & coriander. Definitely a bit watery. Surprisingly light carbonation. Slightly sour tartness that draws one back for another sip, but flavorwise is not very impressive. MrGGen (221), Italy Apr 24, 2009 Colore biondo chiaro con schiuma di buona durata,aroma agrumato e leggermente speziato.Gusto secco e citrino non troppo amaro.Come la Leffe Blonde lo è per le ale belghe,questa Hoegaarden potrebbe essere l’entry-level per le white,in breve non è male,ma c’è di meglio nella categoria.Comunque potabile e dissetante. monkeychugg55 (213), Joliet, Illinois, USA Apr 21, 2009 Updated: Jun 10, 2009Pours a funky pale yellow? Strangest color I’ve ever seen for a beer. Foamy white head hangs around a while. Twirled a bit before I dumped the yeast in. Lots of it in here, can still see some in the bottle. Looks like a nice glass of yuck, but the unusual color is kinda enticing. Aroma is quite inviting, lots of yeast, with clove and banana tones. Pretty lightly malted, but basically what you’d expect for a Belgian white. BroSpud (583), , Massachusetts, USA Apr 18, 2009 12oz bottle. This is a classic benchmark beer. Widely available, always good, and an excellent example of the style. Pours very cloudy pale. Tastes of citrus, coriander and yeast. Suede53 (39), Canton, Ohio, USA Apr 17, 2009 [Bottle] Poured a cloudy and very pale yellow with a large frothy white head. The head lasted throughout with some loose lacing. Typical Belgian yeast aroma with some spice. Taste had a strong yeast note with a lot of corriander and some faint citrus. Finish was very spicey and long lasting which took away from my overall enjoyment. hobbersr (393), Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada Apr 13, 2009 Pours a hazy white with yellow highlights and a large white head with good retention. Aroma is unmistakeably wheat. There is some Belgian bready yeast coming through on the nose along with coriander, citrus and a little sourness. Typical and a little weak nose. Soft on the palate. Distinct orange peel and coriander with Belgian yeast flavors. Nice mouth feel, although a little watery. Decent beer, available everywhere. dogfish120love (250), west hartford, Connecticut, USA Apr 13, 2009 Pours a cloudy/hazy yellow. Easily distinguished notes of citrus and a little belgian funk, as well as spices. The orange flavor is also probably a byproduct of bartenders insistent nature of "fruiting" it with an orange. A decent mass produced easily available beer.
