Hazy orange with a low head. Spicy-sweet aroma of wheat, oranges and coriander. The flavour is way more tasty and complex than the average Hoegaarden, with sweet orange peels and dry wheat dominating. A wit master piece.

25 cl bottle. One of the best Hoegaarden beers in my opinion. An appreciable slight complexity, above all in the aroma, and in the same time drinkable and refreshing. White creamy head that falls quickly. A pale golden-yellow, cloudy. Pleasant but not strong aroma of banana, citric notes, spicy (a little bit of pepper) and a vanilla sweetness. Te taste is more bitter and intense than the aroma, but also a fruity sweetness which overpowers the aftertaste. Smooth and softly carbonated mouthfeel.

Not a bad one, but not my favourite hoegaarden. The small 25cl bottle leaves you wanting a little more. Dark yellow (is there such a thing?), hazy pale yellow (that’s better). Bubbly taste.
