Hoegaarden White

/A>		Hoegaarden White is a fantastically smooth, easy-drinking beer which, despite it's relatively light flavour (not to mention, appearance) races to your head and give you a lovely Sunday-afternoon-in-the-beer-garden feeling.

Personally, this is o­ne of my favourite beers of all time. I don't know if it's the corriander, the dried orange peel, or the fact that it's fermented in the bottle (and therefore not filtered) which gives this beer such a subtle flavour - but I do know that I am going to enjoy drinking this o­ne again and again and again.

"Its like a party in my mouth and everyone is invited" is a quote that befits Hoegaarden like a slender hand in a fine leather glove. I first tasted it out of a pint glass in soho and I have been a huge fan ever since. While it is a beer that deserves to be savoured the way it slides down the throat makes it very difficult to hold back. Yet o­ne must be wary when consuming this fine elixir, it has a heady edge and if you are at the tail end of a four or five person round, you may find it difficult to get off your seat because this puppy packs a punch.

Oh my god, what is this?  There should be a warning similar to those found o­n premium bottles of industrial-strength toilet cleaner.  I can't believe I actually opened this and took a casual swig from the falic bottle o­nly to have my remaining innocence ripped from me by the evil devil’s urine contained therein.  Orange Peel?  Coriander?  Belgiums should stick to making Waffles or whatever.  This misty mix of left over fruits and herbs is an insult to my refined beer pallet.  And what’s with the embossed logo o­n the neck of the bottle?  It looks like a guy with a waffle o­n a stick and some other guy with a question mark o­n a stick…oranges….seriously….  enough said.

I had a great trouble rating this due to the way that I drank it.  For the first two-thirds of the bottle, I thought it was the blandest most ordinary tasting beer ever.  Barely worthy of a single star.  However towards the bottom, the beer revealed its subtle flavours and aromas.  My recommendation to anybody drinking a Hoegaarden White is to follow the directions and pour it into a glass before drinking.

Next time I try this beer, I will edit this post to reflect a truer rating.

Odd. Bad smell, cool bottle, no aftertaste.  Strange yet smooth taste - something to do with the coriander or orange peel I'm sure.  Maybe these would explain the headspin after just half a beer too?
Would definately give it another go.

Well I found this Beer very hard to rate, first it is by far the most different beer I have consumed, There was a very strong taste that is quite hard to explain but after going to the website above, that Simon mentioned, it explained quite a bit o­n where the strange taste comes from <FONT color=olivedrab>“coriander and a hint of orange” Now you add that to a beer and it is going to taste different.

Hoegaarden is quit a good Beer to drink, BUT I could not see myself having a session, after about 3 and I think I would be looking for something else to drink, But Simon I would have to change my rating If I am wrong with this, so maybe o­ne day we will have to buy a slab and have a go at them.

Overall I gave a 2.5 star rating for a very good short day Beer, and it lost stars for that reason, What would I do for the rest of the day? It’s not a beer I would consume over a day at the Super V8’s, but o­ne or two over tea (Dinner for you city folk) would be great.
