Hoegaarden Original White Ale
Appearance: Poured from the bottle with best by 29/01/09 date into a pint glass; followed the instructions on the label even. The beer is hazy, and a very pale yellow color. My pour produces a nice white head, well over 1 inch in height. Head takes time to fade to a solid cover on the beer. Leaves lacing as the beer is consumed. Smell: Yeasty, with some malty aromas (scent of wheat bread) and a refreshing citrous aroma as well. Taste: Malty, a good beer for those who do not like hops. Nothing bitter here. A touch sweet, and a little bready/yeasty. Mouthfeel: Medium in body, smooth going down with a refreshing, clean finish. Drinkability: Added one bottle as part of a mixed 6 pack. I would definitely have this again. Low in alcohol this would make for a good summer quaffer that I will look out for in the summer when it turns hot.
