Hoegaarden welcomed in Thailand’s summer by launching their latest flavour variation.

‘Hoegaarden Botanic’ is a seasonal variant intended to help consumers relax during the festive Songkran period. It is a new flavor that was successfully launched in Korea and Hong Kong in 2021.

This also follows on from the successful launch of Hoegaarden Peach in the Southeast Asian kingdom in 2021.

Positioned as refreshing and light, the archetypal Belgian wheat (wit) beer has been infused with natural extracts such as lemongrass and lemon peel.

Sense‘: Breathe in natural botanical fragrances
Sound‘: Listen to the sounds of nature to help relieve stress and calm the mind
