Pale ivory-yellow in colour with a brilliant white foam, this beer is brewed to a traditional recipe which dates as far back as 1445, although the beer Hoegaarden has only existed since 1966.
Ingredients:
Brewed with pale malt, unmalted wheat, orange peel and coriander seeds. Secondary fermentation in the bottle and keg provides a cloudy appearance.
Aroma and Taste:
A light fruity banana aroma is complemented by the evident spice notes reminiscent of cloves and coriander. Slight vanilla and hint of smoky notes are rounded out by a refreshing citrus character. The sour sweet taste that develops during the bottle conditioning is balanced by a soft bitterness lending a slight astringent touch on the finish leaving the palate refreshed.
