Known as “Bieres Blanches” in French, the Belgian white wheat
beers are brewed using about 50% wheat and a combination of spices, typically, orange peel and coriander.
Hoegaarden,is a refreshing cloudy lemon coloured beer.
The sweet/sour and spicy taste and subtle hop bitterness and
aroma makes it distinctively different.
