Hoegaarden Radler Agrum

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a fine, delicate white head that settles quickly. The carbonation is visible but gentle, appropriate to the low alcohol content. Light catches the liquid cleanly, presenting an inviting, translucent appearance.

◌ Aroma

Fresh orange and grapefruit dominate the nose, lending a distinctly juicy citrus character that overshadows the subtle wheat base. A light floral note emerges in the background, likely from the Hoegaarden White component, while hop aroma remains nearly imperceptible. The overall impression is of a morning fruit juice rather than traditional beer aromatics.

◐ Geschmack

Sweet orange and grapefruit juice blend seamlessly with the delicate wheat character on entry, creating a refreshingly light palate. The mid-palate sustains the citrus-forward profile with minimal bitterness—only 8 IBU ensures no harsh finish. The mouthfeel is smooth and crisp, designed for easy quaffing rather than contemplative sipping.

◑ Abgang

The finish is short and clean, with residual sweetness from the fruit juice lingering briefly on the tongue. No hop bite or malt drying; the aftertaste remains soft and fruity.
