Hoegaarden

Brewed by Brouwerij Hoegaarden (InBev)
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Hoegaarden, Belgium

This is a very smooth, refreshing brew that goes down easy and quenches the thirst. One of my favorites!

Fruity, citrus hops aroma. Cloudy, pale, pineapple color. Light-medium sweet, light bitterness. Fizzy, lemon texture, medium body, finished long and sour.

30cl bottle poured into weizen glass. Cloudy yellow with ample frothy head. Smells spicy and sweet. Tastes like orange peels. Not bad but tastes very watered down.

Aroma is very nice-lots of banana, light citrus spice, some phenols. Flavor could definitely be more assertive, but I suppose it drinks easier this way. Some clove & coriander. Definitely a bit watery. Surprisingly light carbonation. Slightly sour tartness that draws one back for another sip, but flavorwise is not very impressive.

Colore biondo chiaro con schiuma di buona durata,aroma agrumato e leggermente speziato.Gusto secco e citrino non troppo amaro.Come la Leffe Blonde lo è per le ale belghe,questa Hoegaarden potrebbe essere l’entry-level per le white,in breve non è male,ma c’è di meglio nella categoria.Comunque potabile e dissetante.

Pours a funky pale yellow? Strangest color I’ve ever seen for a beer. Foamy white head hangs around a while. Twirled a bit before I dumped the yeast in. Lots of it in here, can still see some in the bottle. Looks like a nice glass of yuck, but the unusual color is kinda enticing. Aroma is quite inviting, lots of yeast, with clove and banana tones. Pretty lightly malted, but basically what you’d expect for a Belgian white.

12oz bottle. This is a classic benchmark beer. Widely available, always good, and an excellent example of the style. Pours very cloudy pale. Tastes of citrus, coriander and yeast.

[Bottle] Poured a cloudy and very pale yellow with a large frothy white head. The head lasted throughout with some loose lacing. Typical Belgian yeast aroma with some spice. Taste had a strong yeast note with a lot of corriander and some faint citrus. Finish was very spicey and long lasting which took away from my overall enjoyment.
