Jul 28, 2008 Unfiltered/cloudy, pale yellow almost white. Creamy white head. Very fresh aroma from citrus and apple. A little bitter aftertaste. In spite of the appearance it was very easy drinking on a sunny summerday, and much better than I remembered it from earlier.

Jul 28, 2008 Great beer, slightly watery at times but with a good creamy white head on it this can be overlooked. Not sure if I’m keen on slices of fruit being placed in the glass with it, I think it can speak for itself to be honest. Great classic.

Jul 27, 2008 haha, just realized I had yet to rate this beauty. In Belgium I drank this and loved it. Here it is good, but just not the same. Hazy light yellow with a nice white head. I smell yeast, slight citrus and maybe vanilla?...flavor is tart and thirst quenching. Finish is carbonated and a tad dry. I do love this beer and very good mixed with Guinness too!

Jul 26, 2008 Draught. Hazy, light yellow with white head. Floral and bananas, Quite thin but refreshing in the summertime.

Jul 26, 2008 Bottle in the United States. Wonderful. Herbal aroma with some vanilla notes. Hazy pale yellow color with soft white head. Lot of lacing on the glass. Subtle wheat and yeast flavors with clove, coriander, a little vanilla, and finishes with an orange peel bitterness. Really like this.

Jul 22, 2008 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!

Jul 22, 2008 Updated: Oct 9, 2008Pretty 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 sugary. Hoegaarden reminds me of fairgrounds, and laughter, and European cafes. Its weakness is that it is too light and watery. They may have begun shipping a more watered-down version to the USA, but that is just a guess. (I would love to try an imperial version someday!) There are better witbiers out there, but this is still deserving of its popularity.
