This "ain't" no Hoegaarden. Actually, it is a comfortable, somewhat satisfying knock-off of Hoegaarden. Sure it is a Belgian style Witbier and sure it has coriander and citrus...however.... much sweeter than Hoegaarden but lacking aroma. Finish is not as complex or strong. This beer is made for the masses, in Coors style, to introduce one to this Belgian style beer. Bad? No. Best? No. Just a comfortable, sweeter, copy-cat at a lesser price. Oh, please forget the recommended orange slice. Doesn't help and it more than hinders the experience.

Serious beer drinkers should stick with Hoegaarden.
