Hoegaarden

The key to Hoegaardens unique, refreshing flavor and spicy nose is real Curaao orange peel with a hint of coriander. This beer is particularly refreshing in warmer months and should always be served in its signature hexagonal glass, which keeps the beer colder longer. Try pairing Hoegaarden with salmon or white-fleshed fish in citrus. The classic Belgian-inspired moules et frites (mussels with shoestring fries) alsopair well with the beer.
