Dull hazy amber; thin white head, fast gone. Nose with crystal malt, chocolate milk powder, soapy. Faint malt taste. A hint as from hoppiness starts, only to die immediately, as petrified by its own boldness - imagine we might experience some taste... Bit grassy finish (I'm really trying hard). Rather light to medium bodied. Honestly, even two palate cleansers don't yield any hitherho undetected flavours. THEY have more taste. BO-ORING. Don't try to tell me historic DAS ale not-tasted like this.

Amber coluured with a lot of sediments. Rich head. Yeasty aroma with a little bit of citrus. The flavour is fruity and quite sweet with too much alcohol. If I had a cellar I would surely use it for year or two.

Cloudy golden color; giant rocky head. Very nice aroma, malty, sweet; cookies; brown sugar; coriander. Very good mouthfeel, like a Tripel with some more malt and light liquorice; spices (coriander and orange peel); a bit carbonic-aggressive. Long final, quite aromatic and well balanced.

Cloudy blond beer; giant creamy head. Pleasant malty and spicy aroma (coriander); dry. Dry and spicy taste as well, very well balanced; some malt; correct bitterness at the end, quite long. I appreciate it mostly for its harmony.

Unclear amber colour with bubbly head. Strong yeast aroma of banana, the orange peel also very apparent. There is a pine tree aftertaste from the hops. I like it, but nothing makes it stand out.

Consensus seems to smile on Hoegaarden. Heavier on the coriander and wheat than on citrus, with orangepeel and banana detectable. The appearance is about as "wit" as they get. Looks like a fresh lemonade with carbonation. Fairly light body. One of the better representations of the style.

Bottled. Ruby colour, off white head, very cloudy with yeast particles floating around (at least if you pour the bottle as sloppily as I did...) Fruity, but clean with hard mouthfeel, Some grassy hop bitterness. I don't get much out of it...

Bottled. Cloudy orange with creamy head. Orangey yeasty aroma. Sugary sweet with soft mouthfeel. Malty and mild. Once upon a time this was one of the beer that got me started, and I don't know if it has lost a bit of itäs edge, or if my taste have changed since.

Crisp, bubbly, lemon and apple flavor, so yeasty I can almost taste the B vitamins, one of the best wits I've had.
