Hoegaarden Wit Blanche

Seeing as it's well over 100 degrees here in Austin today, here's a lovely and refreshing beer for you to imbibe.  The Hoegaarden Wit Blanche is a delicious and golden white ale with hints of orange in both the aroma and the flavor.  The beer pours a cloudy gold and has plenty of carbonation and a nice, frothy head.  It's a little sweet, but has more of a tart finish (orange and lemon).  From look to smell to taste, this beer is pretty much the embodiment of one's mental image of what a beer is supposed to be.  And it's a perfect brew for these long, hot summer days.  Bravo.

Visit the brewer (and never mind that it's owned by Anheuser-Bush).
