Hoegaarden's origins can be traced back to 1445, when monks started experimenting with coriander and orange peel. This wheat ale has a soft, light, slightly sweet taste, with subtle citrus notes. Hoegaarden is fermented twice, but not filtered, creating its cloudy appearance and smooth texture The beer is still made following the original, complicated brewing process, perfected by the monks in the Abbey in the 1400s Orange peel provides a bright citrus flavour; coriander creates a subtle spice; and wheat, lightens the body and adds creaminess and sharpness to the flavor ABV: 4.9% Beer Advocate Score: 86 (very good)
