from wikipedia:
Types of Hoegaarden beer
Wheat beer First brewed in 1445 Hoegaarden is a witbier and is spiced with coriander and orange peel. It is unfiltered and therefore cloudy in appearance.
honestly - I get a kick out of the name
edit: from the same wiki:
Hoegaarden tradition states that the first Hoegaarden of the day must be finished in three gulps. The amount taken-in during the first and second gulp is of no concern as long as the third gulp completes the pint.
