Tasting Notes

Summary: Belgian White's are unfiltered wheat beers very similar to the German hefeweizen's. The main difference between the two is the fruity flavor and strong coriandor presence in the Belgian Whites. Hoegaarden is an excellent example of this style of beer and is best enjoyed in the summer with tuna or chicken cooked on the grill.

	Style: Belgian White
	Appearance: A cloudy beer with a light honey color. The thick creamy head disappears fast after the beer is poured into the glass.
	Aroma: A fruity bouquet with a hint of caramel and peaches.
	Taste: This beer has a nice clean mouth feel with a nice balanced sweet taste. A lingering spicy flavor is present after each sip.
