Hoegaarden Rosée

Brouwerij van Hoegaarden
Belgium·Fruit Wheat Ale
Tap to rate

Hoegaarden's raspberry-infused wheat beer — pink-tinted, low-alcohol, unmistakably fruit-forward. The classic Hoegaarden yeast character carries a pronounced raspberry sweetness with just enough tart to keep it honest. At 3% it drinks as a warm-weather aperitif, not a proper beer session. Bright and playful.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Hoegaarden Rosée

◎ Appearance

A delicate pale pink hue dominates the glass, translucent and bright with fine carbonation visible throughout. The head is modest but persistent, forming a thin collar of white foam that clings gently to the glass rim. The overall impression is light and inviting, befitting a warm-weather fruit ale.

◌ Aroma

Raspberry dominates the nose with pronounced sweetness and a subtle tart undertone that prevents cloying. The classic Hoegaarden phenolic yeast character provides a light spiciness and mild clove note in the background. Light cereal notes from the wheat base round out the bouquet without asserting themselves.

◐ Taste

Entry is immediately fruit-forward, with bright raspberry sweetness meeting gentle tartness across the palate. Mid-palate develops a light wheaten softness with a whisper of yeasty spice. Bitterness is minimal at 12 IBU, allowing the fruit and delicate malt to remain the focal point throughout.
