Hoegaarden Forbidden Fruit 33cl

Hoegaarden Forbidden Fruit pours a dark red-brown in colour with a loose, bubbly head, this well-known strong ale from Hoegaarden (now owned by Interbrew) has a delicate, fruity, malty nose with lots of red berries present, along with estery pear-drop aromas and a touch of sherbet. Hoegaarden Forbidden Fruit is initially lively and malty, but the malt soon develops more complex fruity notes, again with red berries predominant, although there is only a little sweetness. It is also worth noting that the strength is exceptionally well disguised, even for a Belgian ale. Finish becomes chocolaty and warming, though, leaving a chocolaty, fruity aftertaste. Hoegaarden Forbidden Fruit is a stunning beer, somewhere near the dubbel style, but difficult to categorise comfortably. Fruity and complex, with a hidden kick.
