Orange/yellow hazy colour. Firm head. Yeasty, spicy aroma. Dry and very alcohol-dominated flavour. Halfway through the second bottle I started to enjoy the alcohol-flavour;-)

The fruity element are present but not dominant, and the beer just has a kind of refreshing taste with a very good palate.

It seems as if this beer is some sort of sirop, in all kind of ways. This is not a beer that drinks very pleasantly.

Pale yellow, cloudy, thin collar. Strong spicy aroma (coriander) and citrus fruits. Dry taste, spicy (coriander and cloves); light malt and hop. Palate simple, not too bitter, enough spicy. Good example, but Witbiers are not my top ones.

Judging by the United Nations of people that have rated this, Canada is the only country that doesn't get this one. Given that Interbrew is #2 in this country, that really sucks ass, because this is one of the few beers they make that's good enough to buy twice. Hell I only use the regular Hoegaarden to cook mussels. But back to the Grand Cru: light orange, cloudy; complex aroma - spice, alcohol, white pepper; the body is firm and lush at the same time, the palate is wit-like, oaty, and with good spice and firm alcohol. As "tripel-wits" go, this is far better than Don de Dieu.

Has a nice yeasty aroma. It is cloudy from not being filteret. If poured right it has a very nice head - but most often is poured like a pilsener and then it ends up without any head. It has a nice refreshing yeast and fruit flavor. A great beer on a hot summer day for quencing your thirst.
