Review: Hoegaarden Original White Ale

Hoegaarden Original White Ale from Brouwerij van Hoegaarden
Rating: A-

Pours a very nice cloudy gold color with an agreeable amount of head.

Nose is a touch sour at first (i guess other reviewers called it citrus-y) but develops nicely into fruit and yeast.

Tastes great, of wheat, yeast, a little sweetness... resolves into a refreshing fruitiness that makes this beer extremely drinkable.

Not a whole lot of carbonation to the mouthfeel, which places the focus squarely on the flavor of the beer.

All around, a very nice beer.

Serving type: bottle
