Vedett Extra White

Spring has sprung, so time for apero out on the terrace and a new Belgian beer review. Yes, it's finally nice enough to sit outside -- first time this year. After a bit of gardening, we're trying Vedett Extra White.

It's a blanche or witbier, much like the universally known Hoegaarden, but unlike the orange and coriander of that one, Vedett's offering goes in a different direction: pine, rosemary and lavender. Very nice, and yes, better than Hoegaarden.

And like its brother, Vedett Extra Blond, it's got a very hip label. It goes well with the new flowers popping their heads up in the garden.
