5.0% ABV

Hoegaarden is the authentic Belgian wheat or white beer. It has a unique and extremely complex brewing process whereby the brand is first top fermented and then is refermented within the bottle - ending up in a unique cloudy-white appearance. The brand's unique appearance is mirrored by its one-of-a-kind taste - sweet and sour beer with a little bitterness, slightly spicy, with a strong touch of coriander and a hint of orange, perfect for warm summer days, instead of other refreshing beverages. Refreshing, a little quirky, and decidedly different - naturally.

Best With: 
This Belgian-style wheat beer works well on its own as an aperitif, but also pairs well with lighter fare such as salads with a citrus dressing. It can work surprisingly well with omelets made with apples and goat cheese. Some people enjoy this beer with a slice of orange as a garnish.

Comments

Hoegaarden White

t-k-k-beer's picture

Appearance: Lives up to its reputation. It is cloudy but light in color

Aroma: A bit of citris aroma

Flavor: The orange comes through more than is advertised. Most Drinkers used to mass produced beers or IPA's will find this beer flat in flavor

Mouthfeel: good feel. Not at all heavy.

Overall Impression: For the price, German wheat beers are a better buy.

Comments: Would be a good beer for those extremely hot summer days however.
