Botle pours a very light cloudy white/yellow witha midium bright white head. Thick resiliant lacing. Aroma is light and spicy. I notice the Belgiun yeasty notes and just a bit of the advertised coriander. Flavor is very mild and pale. Fairly sweet and papery. Lively carbonation and a moderate feel in general. Skunk nailed it. "Sessionable"

Bottle. Hazy gold with lots of coriander and yeasty nose, not bad, it has some complexity and sourness. Re-rate bottle at La Trappiste advertised as Hoegaarden Speciale but in fact a bottle of Grand Cru turned up so I was pissed off as this wasn’t a rate but credit to the beer that it won me over. Decent banana ester aroma, but the finish is the best thing. Lively full of life spritzy and hoppy and bitter. Yep won me over.

On tap at County Hotel, JDW, Ashford Really refreshing especially with half a slice on lemon. Good wheat beer with just a tang of orange and coriander. If nothing else is on I am quite happy to have this

Pour is a bright yellow like lemon juice. Aroma is nice and spicy with a bit of pepper in there. Flavor is peppery and spicy with a lemony backbone. Very refreshing on a warm summer night.

(Bottle 25 cl) Classical amber in colour, decent off-white head. Very light-bodied with some dry malt. Some caramel-notes in there - but never sweet. Very quenching, very quaffable. 020897

Hazy orange colour, huge longlasting white creamy head, lacing. Fruit wheat and yeast in aroma with some spicy hints. Citrus in flavour along with spices, apricot and alcohol. Alcohol fits the whole pretty well.

Bottle. Boring acidic aroma. Cloudy brown colour. Malty flavour, some bitterness. Maltiness is nice, but I would have liked more alcohol flavour and feel.
