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...

Can from Lawson's. Huge green apple juice nose bursts out of the glass. Touch of witbier behind it, some wheat and coriander. Hazy gold with a tall head. Sour apple flavor is surprisingly unsweet. More of hte wirbier flavor in the taste, wheat, coriander, spicy yeast. Quite crisp and refreshing. Mostly apple juice, but pretty tasty for industrial swill made under license in South Korea.

AROMA: Mildly sweet with moderate scents of coriander and orange, followed by hints of lemon. Note: As the beer warms the coriander really starts to take over, and not in a bad way.
APPEARANCE: Pours a very cloudy, light-straw (think weak lemonade) with a coarsely frothy, 3-finger, white head that dissipates somewhat slowly with moderate lacing.
TASTE: Lightly sweet with mild flavors of coriander and orange peel, which is then followed by a slight sourness and flavor of lemon. Oddly enough, as the beer warms, the sour lemon flavor changes to sweet lemon. Weird!
MOUTHFEEL: Medium-bodied with a slightly rough texture. The finish is mildly dry and the carbonation is fairly lively (i.e. above average).
OVERALL: I know this is a classic beer (and I can't believe I haven't rated it until now), but I'm not overly impressed by it. Don't get me wrong, it's a nicely crafted beer. I just find the flavor to be a bit too muted for my taste, even after letting the beer warm up a bit (which you'll want to do). Still, I could happily drink several of these in a row, and never complain. And with such a low ABV, that is easily done.

Light straw colored beer with medium head. In aroma there are bananas, cloves and herbs. Slightly acidic but mostly sweet. Not too much though, it's well balanced. Light body, refreshing.

I was served 50 cl in a brand appropriate glass, I always like that, at Gate in the Karlin area of Prague. The view was an indistinct, gold-yellow body. And the drink was all right. Spices certainly, grain, white bread, orange zest and a bit of lemon. Decent beer, not exactly doing it for me.
