MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Just opened a bottle and all I can say is what a foul disgusting taste. Brought it out of curiosity, wished I stayed curious now 🙁
Can you email it to me then, it's me favorite
Try Leffe and Duval
Hoegarden is too sweet for my tastes
Leffe is still a bit sweet but Duval is lovely
I'll have the rest 🙂
Are you normally a bitter or larger drinker?
Bitter bit like my nature 😉 You could have the rest with pleasure.
Mmmm, lovely! Make your own with a lager kit and some oranges and coriander (five oranges and a Schwarzkopf refill to 5 gallons). Thank you Pierre Celis.
Kronenbourg Blanc is the next best thing, and marginally more available on draught in the UK.
Now you've got me thirsty and thinking about another trip to Belgium!

What's larger than bitter? A quart? Or do you become larger by drinking too much?
Hoegaarden is an acquired taste but one I have managed to develop 🙂
I would never describe it as sweet though - quite the opposite.
One of the benefits of being here in Belgium is if you don't like one beer then we have a few thousand more you can choose from...
I get more pissed per pint on hoegaarden than anything else. It's crazy wappy juice, almost like skunk!
Hoegaarden on tap is lovely stuff...
Not a fan of the the bottled stuff at all...
Great beer but yeah I'd say it's not really sweet.
Lovelly beer, although I must say I wasn't convinced after my first pint. Perhaps the taste will grow on you?
On tap is nicer, but only ever had it a couple of times. Not the most popular drink.
much nicer on tap.
the polar opposite of guinness i think?
too sweet? that's why you put a slice of lemon in it
off to the Brum Frankfurt xmas market this weekend, wheatbeer galore!!
It's drinking
You've not supposed to be enjoying it 😉
I actually tipped half of the second bottle away. This is not for me.

Yep - the alcohol-by-volume does not represent the true making-you-fall-over power of this stuff. It's not that alcoholic, but it acts like it is.
I had 2 bottles of Leffee once on a ferry crossing, it finished me off. I'm a cheap date and a lightweight but I can ride uphill forever! 😀
