Hoegaarden Grand Cru
8.5% abv, i forget the size, small like 330mls or 355mls? And they instruct you to serve it at 5-6%, well i think they do, if my loose understanding of the foreign labeling is correct.
Despite careful pouring i ended up with no small amount of white and dark yeast floating in the glass. See that beautiful orange colour, yum.
Its aroma was vanilla, banana, and a hint of sourness.
And that lovely orange liquid yielded more banana and vanilla, it was creamy but clean tasting, lemon came through as the 'clean element'.
Then theres a nice bitterness that leads onto a typical, lovely though, alcoholic warmth of a Belgian strong beer.
Its a shame it only came in such a small bottle.

Aldi Hoegaarden deal
Just as i post that their latest deal is not quite as good as a current Tesco one, Aldi produce one that is better, and one i probably will buy.
Deal: Hoegaarden 75cl bottles for £2.29, and this beats Tesco's current 2 for £5.
Recently this has been a sunshine go-to-beer, one sitting in the fridge, a cool damn refreshing beer. Crisp, lemon, orange, light spice hints, its a classic beer. I'm certainly going to tuck a couple away.
