appearance is a cloudy pale yellow collow with white head.
a citrus smell dominates but there is also banana and wheat to the smell
Wheat, Citrus, and Banana are the main flavors here. Nothing is strong or overpowering in the taste.

Pours hazy yellow with a frothy white head. Juicy aroma with orange peel and yeast. Semi sweet flavor with more orange peel and yeast. Finish is mild but satisfying. A very refreshing beer.

Delicious white beer. Pours an extremely light yellow or even a white yellow with a nice thick white head that clings to the glass. Aroma is great with a nice wheat and hay. Taste is of wheat and extremely smooth. Delicious!

Smells like some sort of cleaning agent. Tastes like an orange peel. This is what Blue Moon is supposed to taste like.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Very refreshing; light but interesting; orange peel with clean finish. Bottle conditioned, unfiltered, benefits from pour into a glass. Very nice wit.

Bottle- Lovely golden haze. Aroma of citrus and coriander. A deliciously hazy shade of witbier
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a very hazy light yellow, almost white. Lively palate, fresh and drinkable. Not much of a nose to it, but this is wit so all is forgiven. :-) Pretty standard in the ways of the style, but then again it is such a classic that the taste has become a reference point for other wits. I think Hoegaarden does, however, lack some of the refreshing sourness otherwise abundant in the genre (which I like) but still retains a very nice blend of citrus tones and wheaty, grassy flavor. A light beer for quaffing in the sun, no doubt, and a good alternative to the traditional "summer lager".
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Pours a light straw colour with a large very dense white head. Huge cirtus aromas followed by plenty of wheat malt and bready yeast. Spices come through as the beer warms with coriander and perhaps a little cinamon. Flavours are slightly tart thanks once again to the citrus and wheat malt. Plenty of spices coming through near the finish. Great beer and style the best example of the style in my opinion.
