Hoegaarden Original White Ale

Hoegaarden hits like a gentle reminder of what witbiers are supposed to do. You get that soft wheat base, then a whisper of coriander and orange peel that feels almost apologetic in its subtlety. The finish is clean—almost too clean—with a slight phenolic prickle that comes and goes. It's the beer equivalent of a perfectly pressed linen shirt: impeccable, maybe even a little boring if you're expecting something to grab you by the collar.

White Thai

White Thai actually tastes like someone had a conversation with a witbier and said 'what if we made this weirder?' You get the wheat softness, but then there's this herbal, almost spicy backbone that lingers. It's not aggressively Thai—no coconut whack or lemongrass punch—but there's a dryness and an edge that suggests something more complex happening beneath the surface. More textured. More memorable.
