Hoegaarden White is the original white beer, brewed with unmalted wheat and spices such as coriander and dried orange peel. The beer has a naturally cloudy appearance because it is not filtered and has undergone a second fermentation in the bottle or keg. Its sweet-sour and spicy taste makes it a unique, refreshing easy-to-drink specialty beer that is distinctively different from ?the usual pint of lager?.
* 55 % malted barley ; 45 % unmalted wheat. * Addition of spices: coriander, dried orange peel and hops. * Top fermentation (25?C), bottle pasteurization after main fermentation. * Living yeast is added again before bottling/kegging, thus allowing a second fermentation in the bottle or keg. * There is no filtration. * Bottles and kegs are stored in warm rooms during 2 weeks to allow the secondary fermentation process - the yeast process improves when T? is high. * Hoegaarden White is a 5 % alcohol by volume wheat beer. * Hoegaarden White has 12.1 degree Plato. * Hoegaarden White is: o brewed following an authentic recipe o brewed with natural ingredients (mineral spring water,unmalted wheat, barley malt, hops, yeast,coriander, dried orange peel) o an unfiltered beer o refermented in bottle and keg o naturally cloudy * Color: hazy & soft yellow. * Sour-sweet, soft bitter taste with a fruity aroma. * Hoegaarden White is naturally carbonated. * There is no oxidation following oxygen pick up during the filling. * Thanks to the second fermentation, the yeast protects the beer microbiologically against the aging effect (no pasteurization is needed nor done after secondary fermentation) resulting in a longer shelf life.
AWARDS
The outstanding quality of Hoegaarden White is confirmed by the many international awards it has won in the past years:
* Gold award in the ?specialty ales? section at the 1999 Australian International Beer Awards * Platinum award at the 1998 World Beer Championship in the USA * 1st Prize at the 1997 Stockholm Beer Festival. * Supreme Champion at the 1997 International Food Exhibition in UK (300 competitors). * Gold medal in the category ?Belgian style White Wheat Beers? at the 1996 World Beer Cup in the U.S.A. * Silver medal at the 1995 World Beer Championship in the U.S.
A man of my own heart.. I was going to post just this, before I decided to check and see, in case there were any other true appreciators among the posters.

I wasn't very fond of Guiness Extra personally. Don't get me wrong it was a decent brew. Just didn't like the taste that much but it was tolerable. Got me reallllyyy hammered on St. Patty's day though. had (drank approximately 24 between 8:00pm and 2:00am when I layed down)
I am 75% italian and a Quarter Irish so on St. Patty's day I always have to celebrate my Irish heritage with an Irish brew!

My friends an i would make a beer pilgrimage from San Francisco to Oregon every year and hit up all the breweries. Humboldt county puts out some good stuff. These are some good ones by names of breweries and my faves from them Deshutes-black butte porter, obsidian stout http://www.deschutesbrewery.com/splash/default.aspx Sierra nevada-pale ale, stout, porter http://www.sierranevada.com/ rouge-porter and stout http://www.rogue.com/ lost coast-porter, stout, http://www.lostcoast.com/ North coast and old Rasputin for the real beer drinkers http://www.northcoastbrewing.com/ And for the summer we drink coors or keystone And for when we are going gangsta we drink the IDES
Shit Crap tire i mean fat tire- new Belgium brewery sucks ass and its not like i cant drink a good beer. Budweiser, Rolling rock any mexican beer any red ale hefe's are for bitches

Hazed and Infused Dry Hopped Ale is the best beer I've ever tasted, it almost made me move to Colorado.

The trick with Guiness Extra is you must take BIG swigs of it. Drink it like it is Snapple.
Sip it, and the bitter will kill you.
I prefer Regular Ole Guiness Stout. Great from the keg, with a proper pour.

Yeah I hear you man. That definately makes since. I like the thickness of the Guiness extra but at first I was sipping it. By the end of the night I was pounding them and they weren't so bad. That and I was already cocked so nothing mattered. hah.
I'll have to give Guiness Stout a try.
When me and my buddies get keggs we usually just go with Budweiser. I think Bud tastes damn good out of kegg. Doesn't taste good any other way IMO.

true dat!..it is all the same after so many anyway, I don't like to get severely drunk..it just brings back too many memories..drinking too much seems so nasty when you have been sick for a long time though..but then again it is the same old drunk feeling again, with the hangover..
