Hoegaarden is a wheat beer with coriander in it. Wiki seems to suggest it may also contain Orange peel, but i only remember coriander.

You could add coriander to a muntons conniseur wheat beer kit, but i don't think you'll be able to accurately reproduce hoegaarden to any great extent with kits. I also don't know how much you'd need. And it would be a wheatbeer rather than a witbier if we're being pedantic.

:lol:

hi, the lady in the hb shop in glasgow told me that muntons connoisseur wheat beer was very close in taste to hoegaarden.
i`ll take her word for it.

Have a look at recipes for it in all grain to give you some ideas.....sure it does have bitter orange peel in it, Brupaks sell it for this purpose
