Was skeptical merely because its everywhere and my budlite loving friends like it, but I was pleasantly suprised! Doesn’t look like much though - half decent head sits atop is sickly pale yellow - looks like watered-down apple juice. But the taste is everything you’d expect from a witbier - bright, lively, acidic, yeasty aromas, big citrus, coriander backup, dry, sour, refreshing. Would not hesitate to recommend it!

Tap to Hoegaarden .33L octogaon glass. 2 inch white head. Med hazy Pale Yellow. Smells of orange zest and coriander, a bit of malt sweetness. Tastes or orange zest and coriander, malt sweetness notes and some bitterness. Lite on the palate, medium carbonation, very little alcohol presence. A decent Wheat beer that would drink easily on warm summer days.

A: The pour is an extremely pale yellow color with an intense haze to it. The head is medium in size and white in color. S: Big time coriander aroma to this beer. The wheat and other malts provide a moderate amount of sweetness to the nose, and there is a minimal citrus note. T: Again, a heavy hand on the spice component. Lots of coriander and wheat with a distinct lemony tartness. Where am I, BJ’s? M: The body is quite light and the carbonation is quite high and lively. D: Another one of those really well known beers that everybody sort of has to try somewhere along the way. I haven’t had this beer for a long time, but I did not find it did much for me on this occasion.

garza (460) - Oslo (NO), Caracas (VE), VENEZUELA - OCT 16, 2010
Cloudy light yellow colour with a decent white head. Fresh citrus, herbs and spices in the aroma. Very refreshing, presence of citrus and light sweetness in the taste, a bit spiced. But it gets watery after a second or so. Soft carbonation, light bitter finish. Ok.

Light yellow - almost white, - fluffy head. Aroma is spices and citrus. Taste is very tangy and citrus with remnants of hefeweizen back there. Finish is a bit bitter and tangy. Pretty good for an InBev owned company.

thirstyrabbit (478) - Tallinn, ESTONIA - OCT 13, 2010
Small bottle. I’m not sure why is this sitting high at the top 5% in overall. Very pale in looks and average tasting. It even leans on the watery and weak side. Overrated and overpriced.

Looks just like in the image, hazy yellow with nice head. Look of this beer is it’s best side. As a wheat beer this is not too awesome. Mostly watery, even thou there is that citrus one always expects with wheats, but just barely.
