This post is sort of directed at Dude - you mentioned in another thread how along with the SNPA clones a lot of homebrewers brewed Hoegaarden styles as well.
My question is I'm looking to brew a wheat beer but I guess a more American style without the sourness or acidic overtones. My main reason is that any sourness in the beer will remind me of a bad batch I made recently. The sour taste in that bad batch is like burned into my brain!
So I was wondering since I unfortunately never tried a Hoegaarden how one would describe it and if that particular style would be good to clone if I was looking for the non-sourish taste. I'm currently an extract brewer.
Thanks
