Hoegaarden

Brewed by Brouwerij Hoegaarden (InBev)
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Hoegaarden, Belgium

Draught at Viisipenniä, Helsinki, Finland. Hazy pineapple colour with white head. Lemony, citrus, sweet and yeasty aroma. Sweetish, wheaty, fruity flavour with some hoppiness. Excellent witbier.

Oud Hoegaards Bier (Bière Blanche) from 1979 tasted in Kulminator, Antwerpen, Belgium.

Pours a slightly "flourescent" yellow with gorgeously contrasting white head that remains meringue-like and retains well. Nose is a soft mixture of lemon with other mixed citrus, and faint vanilla. On the palate is a nice balance of wheaty malt sweetness with citrus, yeasty/estery flavours that are oh so good, and a suggestion of candied sweetness as well. Finish is pleasingly tart and appetizing. Although Hoegaarden was amazing in previous years compared to this bottling more recently, it is nonetheless an amazing ale.

Pours hazy golden color white head floral hops crisp and light orange taste and smooth going down with a slight bitterness not overly carbonated its a good mass produced brew

Pours white gold and cloudy with a thick white head. A little lace. Aroma of citrus hops. Taste of orange peel and a lot of yeast. still has a crisp feel. After taste is bitter and a watery. an OK beer.

This is a very smooth, refreshing brew that goes down easy and quenches the thirst. One of my favorites!

Fruity, citrus hops aroma. Cloudy, pale, pineapple color. Light-medium sweet, light bitterness. Fizzy, lemon texture, medium body, finished long and sour.

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.

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.
