Hoegaarden

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

Bottled. Pours hazy pale yellow almost like lemonade. Effervescent white head that quickly subsides. It does smell like orange peel and coriander, also a little lemon and clove, but the spice and yeast is weak. Palate is highly carbonated but thin. I hope this wasn’t representative of this beer.

Bottle from the LCBO This is the Beer that got me started on trying different beers i thought i would have hated this beer and it is now one of my favourites

Bottle. Pours a hazy gold color with a white head. Smells of orange and wheat. Complex taste consisting of several spices. You can get orange peel, wheat and coriander right away. Best enjoyed with salads. Very good belgian white.

Pours a very pale hazy gold. Grassy nose. Citrus note from orange peel is detectable, but subtle. Same with the coriander. I’m ambivalent about this one....

Pours palest of pale (hazy) yellows with a small head. Aroma of wheat, pilsener, and spicing, though the spicing doesn’t scream coriander/orange peel like it should. Taste is distinctly of sweet tarts when it is cooler. As it warms up it tastes more pils/wheaty. No real spicing comes through at all. A little Belgian yeastiness. Pretty easy drinking, but definitely not the best wit bier.

This Belgium wheat beer pours a hazy straw color with a creamy white head with long lasting lacing. Nose is citrus and spice. Very creamy and pleasing mouthfeel. Taste is wheat, orange and coriander. Very refreshing beer, best served in summer with light snacks or mild or light foods such as fish or salad.

Very good wheat beer. Smells of citrus and spices. Nice white head, nice Witbier color. The taste is clean with a citrus aftertaste. The sweet and sour taste of the spices and citrus balance nicely.

One of the few wheat beers that I’ve actually enjoyed at all. Big orangey smell with a hint of some spice to it as well. Nice calming feel as it slides down the throat. Enjoyable and affordable.
