Can. Fake lemon aroma (smells like Pledge). Pale yellow color with giant head. Sweet fake lemon/lime flavor - minimal carbonation - not good at all.

0.3 L bottle. Big shiny white head. Very pale, yellow colored body. Perfumed lemon aroma. Notes of medicine and nail polish remover. Artificial lemon flavor, sharp and soapy. Thin. Astingent in the mouth. Acidic-sweet candy-ish lemon finish. This one is probably designed by some evil persons in InBev’s marketing department. Not good!

300 ml bottle. From Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Hazy pale yellow with big white head. Looks like lemon juice. Aroma is lemon, but bad way. Like artificial fairy liquid aroma. Some wheat sweetness in flavour but mainly the same artificial lemon and sugar. Quite terrible. I would say this is total waste of great Hoegaarden.

bottle @ home. Pours light yellow with small white head. Aroma is lemon. The taste is also lemon. Not very interesting but refreshing. Liked this one more than the Roseé version.

25cl bottle. Pours a light-yellow colour with thin white head. Aroma and flavor is lemon. Refreshing but too sweet.

Bottle at home. Light yellow colour, white head. Smells like lemon. Tastes like lemon-soda mixed with beer. Sometimes nice as a refreshing drink, when you don’t especially want beer.

Very pale and watery looking. Has a soapy, lemony flavour. Clearly artificially sweetened. Unpleasant.

The bottle looks a bit cheap, the beer in the glass is very light, small head. Starts very, very sweet. Artifical notes of lemon. The beer becomes thiner in the end, goes down like water. Quite refreshing, but not really enjoyable.
