I think its er, weird and tastes of soap, not totally unpleasant but it took me three years from my first taste to buy some more, didnt seem as bad so in 30 years I may have a taste for it !

Jerome

No.

I'm a big fan of Belgian beer, but I can't stand Hoegarden.

Hoegarden is a unique taste..personally I now prefer leffe... far superior and more potent at 6.6%

mj

£4.50....don't say you pay that for a watered down alcoholic cup-a-soup.

have you typed hoegarden into Google lateley?, read on:

It's a bit like Weissbier in Germany - acquired taste, but quite good once used to it. Makes a change once in a while.

stevem2k

I seem to be in a minority .. I like it - especially with a lump of lemon in it.

Also big fan of leffe , duval, brugs et al.

BTW lobstermania starts again on 24th May @ Belgo/Bierodrome

Looks like the "pale ale" Stiffler drank in American Pie - probably tastes as bad too

Suresh

Also quite a fan of the stuff. Find it very refreshing - especially on a hot summer's evening or whilst aprés skiing in the late afternoon sun. Deffo an outdoors sort of drink for me. I like German Weissbier and also the Dutch Wiekse Witte too, but drink almost any sort of lager. All this talk of beer is making me very thisty...

Johnny50

Suresh..
Surely you couldn't go a pint of Hoegarden at this time of the morning ??

scoobimax

yes - but an aquired taste!

And yes its bloody expensive!

Mark Miwurdz

Not for me. Just looking at a pint of the stuff gives me a hangover.

6X out of wood every time

Yes, love it, but also love Leffe now as well (have a nice litre bottle downstairs).

First tried Hoegarden about 5 years back and have had loads since. Only problem is I now have hundreds of their glasses as you can only buy them with a free glass

Tried it, hated it. I knew it was an aquired taste at the time, but I still thought it was off and demanded it be replaced by a Stella LOL

Muffleman

Me likee, but it's a summer drink. Nice glass of Hoegarden on a summers day in a pub garden - washes the ploughmans down nicely !

But definitely an acquired taste.

Most lagers are like making love in a canoe !!! (Any excuse for a Monty Python quote ) But a cold Stella whilst polishing the car or mowing the lawn on a hotarse day can't be beat either

Matt

BuRR

I love it, especially on a hot summer's day with a slice of lime.

Scooby96

Disgusting stuff! Especially if you squeeze lemon into it

stevencotton

It's ok but I'm sure it makes me hallucinate. We call it "Klingon ******** Beer".

ADP

hmm not a fan, tried to force myself to like it but I just cant

love the glasses though
