Hoegaarden

Draft. served with a slice of lemon :-( Light cloudy amber. Nice notes of fruit, citrus and some yeast.Mainlky sweet and developes little sourness in finish 8 maybe this was due to the lemon?). as well some dryness. Very refreshing beer!

Bottle: Pours a natural cloudy straw color with a frothy white head. Aroma and flavor is initially sweet with hints of orange peel and bananas. Medium body finishes with a refreshing mild sour taste. One of my favorite after work beers during the summertime. Very enjoyable!

Pretty blonde brew with a good-sized head. The label is all right, and I like the octagonal glasses that it often comes served in. There is a sweet, saturated aroma on this Dutch treat - perfumey hops, sweet malts, a touch of yeast, and a little vegetal scent too. (Is this the world’s best-selling witbier? Was it the first?) There are tastes of clove, citrus, and wheat - but despite these dessert-like, festive characteristics, the brew is not too sugary. Hoegaarden reminds me of fairgrounds, and laughter, and European cafes. Its weakness is that it is a little light. (I would love to try an imperial version someday!) There probably is a better witbier out there, but this is still an enjoyable classic, and it deserves its popularity.

Cloudy looking and very tasty, this beer is surprisingly sweet. Better than I expected.

Pours a hazy pale yellow peach flesh color with a thick frothy white head. Decent lacing. The aroma is all wheat, with some citrus and coriander. Decently spicy. The flavor is yeasty with a lot of lemon and coriander. Very sweet, yet crisp. Medium body and very refreshing. A pretty solid beer for being so widely available and relatively inexpensive.
