This has been one of my favourite wheat (Maggie’s too if I am not wrong) as far as I can remember. Around S$3+ for a 330ml and S$10+ for a 750ml @ 4.9% ABV, YES ! 750ml.

Cloudy pale gold colour, bready and zesty on the nose, reminds me of wheat bread with marmalade, coriander with light spices aroma, dried orange peel in the finish.

I went to Hong Kong on Dec 2006 and spend my chirtsmas there, visited a local pub with my HK cousin, Maggie, I was wondering about what to have, in the end decided to go along with Maggie on a pint of Hoegaarden, were stunted by a question from the waiter, ‘lime or lemon wedge in your hoegaarden?’ Didn’t really know how to answer that, since Maggie is having a lemon, I decided to go for a lime. Well, this is first to me as I always have my beers served chilled without anything, except for Corona (with a lime wedge of course). How’s the taste turn out? Well, it gave the beer a sweeter mouthfeel and slightly more depth in the finish.

Gulping Hoegaarden in an outdoor pub with 10+ degree Celcius temperature with Maggie is certainly an unforgetable Hong Kong’s night for me !
