Hoegaarden Spéciale is, well, special. If it were normal we probably wouldn’t have called it Spéciale. Just for kicks we had an amateur wine tasting club have a crack at describing it. They said it was playfully sour, with a sophisticated pallet and a prolonged aftertaste. We prefer calling it a bit bitter, with a ripe taste and served in a cool glass. They were right about the aftertaste, though. Seasonal beer, only available from October to the end of January.Available exclusively in Belgium. (lucky bastards!)
