totally different by nature. Different in the kind of beverage that
it is and in it’s naturally refreshing taste experience. |

Hoegaarden
Grand Cru
is the noblest beer in the Hoegaarden brewery, with a surprising
bouquet and a peachy colour and palate. It is the result of traditional
brewing methods where special attention is given to the selection
of ingredients, such as Hoegaarden yeast as well as the time necessary
for brewing and refermentation in the bottle. The taste combines
sweetness with a hop bitterness that real beer lovers will appreciate.
