Description
BEER BREWED CAREFULLY TO BE CONSUMED WITH CARE
- Hoegaarden White was initially brewed by monks 600 years ago and contains coriander and orange peel imported from sunny Curaçao to achieve a harmonious taste profile.
- The Witbier (White beer) is very similar to the Weissbier but is brewed primarily in Belgium.The primary difference between the Weissbier and the Witbier is a causality of the Reinheitsgebot which dictates, in Germany, that no ingredients other than water, barley and hops can go into the brewing of a beer. A similar law existed in 14th Century France (Belgium was at the time, a French territory) outlawing the use of hops in beer. Therefore, the Belgians had to experiment with ingredients other than hops. The modern Witbier is descended from those experiments and replaces hops with gruit – a mixture of coriander, orange, hops and bitter orange – resulting in a much less hoppy, and slightly more fruity beer.
