Nothing can beat a Hoegarden. "Who-garten" as I was told. 10drunkskunk» It's a drink of beauty!!! 6 abnmonty» Hoegaarden the best? I don't think so. Sort of like drinking a perfumed watery vegetable soup. Shucks, even Vietnamese Tiger Piss tasted better! 11BOS» I am a hardy drinker of "Wheat Beers" and tasted many while serving in Germany. However I do rate the Hoe as the best and in UK you can find it on tap, and it doesnt lose its quality. I also use the pint glass for drinking my cappuccino in the morn 8Rebajas» I agree with Thomas, their Grand Cru and their winter Witbiers (Hoegaarden Speciale) are much better - i'd even go so far as to say that you don't go back to 'standard' Hoe once you've had the pleasure... 9OrkyRulez» Can only give it a 9, as 10 & 11 are reserved for the REALLY good Belgian Beers. ;) 11Vodkalager» This was the first illegal six-pack I have ever bought, and to be honest, I've bought plenty of other beers that have been mentioned on this site.

Cheers! 4johnjacobjingleheime» look- where's the guy that said good beer should be cheap? EXACTLY. It's beer. The recipe says: tasty-cheap-alcoholic. Any frag can wax eloquent about how payin 8$ a sixpack makes it taste faaahbulous! Wine connoiseurs spit their chug OUT to show their approval. Beer is real. 7Frank» The language depends on the region, for example my wife is from Mons and they do not speak Flemish but French(they even made it easier too) exclusively. It's become one of my favorite summer heat thirst quinchers. I have other favs too. 11Thomas» There is also a beer called Hoegaarden grand cru which is actually even better.

In fact, it's the only beer that I'd drink over a Coke with a burger. 11David» Best beer ever!! By the way, the glass is octagonal to keep the heat from your hand from warming the beer too much.

I was instantly hooked... 8Chris» well basically i find it to be deligtfully refreshing, but in my opinion it has indeed lost SOME of its actual "beer" but all in all a very enjoyable beer, not to mention a great conversation peice when all your friends are drinking the same old 10Gijs» One of the best beers from the Benelux, a blonde beer, very sour and still light and sweet.
