Brouwerij Hoegaarden
Commercial Brewery
in Hoegaarden,
Flemish Brabant,
Belgium 🇧🇪
Owned by
Anheuser-Busch InBev
Established in 1965
Since 1985, the brand has been part of Artois brewery, which provided fresh capital, after the fire. After the takeover, the recipe was changed to appeal to a wider audience and save on raw materials. The Artois brewery, which had already been absorbed into InBev (nowadays Aneuser-Busch InBev) for some time, decided in 2006 to close the brewery and move production to Jupille. On September 10, 2007, it was announced that Hoegaarden would once again be brewed in Hoegaarden. The brewery in Jupille didn't manage to imitate the typical taste of Hoegaarden...

TASTE: initial medium-high sweet and worty flavour with medium-low notes of wheat, orange and coriander. slight phenols. low bitterness with a sweet finish.

--Canned. -- Hazy golden, small head. Aroma of coriander and dough. Very sweet with light body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Lots of coriander, lots of sugar, some bun dough. No bitterness. Rather cloying, due to the immense sweetness.

Can. Pours cloudy pale yellow with huge foamy white head. Aroma is intense grain and cereal with hints of sugar, lemon and freshly mowed grass. Taste is very sweet, faint bitter and faint acidic. Body is creamy with fizzy carbonation. Finish is long and very sweet with intense grain and cereal but also notes of thin tea, lemon, sweet orange juice, chalk, herbs and grass. Way too sweet for my taste.
