Hoegaarden Original White Ale

Appearance - Cloudy and pale with a yellowish white color too. (Almost looks like pee.. Haha!) Pretty nice head on it that dissipates quickly after pour.

Smell - Citrus like with a lemon and orange smell, mixed with banana with hints of wheat in the back. A pretty pleasant smell for the most part.
Just the appearance and smell alone were enough to make me want to drive right in.

Taste - Lightly sweet with lots of citrus and no hop up front, the middle brings out clove, cotton candy, some yeast, lemon, orange, a tinge of hops bitterness, the finish is dry, with lingering clove and faint hop notes along with persistent lemon.

Mouthfeel - Aftertaste is practically non existent. It's a very smooth brew.

Drinkability - It goes down smoothly and is light on the stomach. I could definitely drink these all night.
Definitely going to try to always keep a few of these stashed away in the fridge.

Two Thumbs Up! Definitely a must have.
