who-g-aaw-r-dan
but I can't explain here how to pronounce the 'g' and the 'r', and most probably you won't be able to pronounce it anyway (hint: try to be a barbarian :-D ) .
I think Hoegaarden is a rather nice beer :-) , though I prefer 'Korenwolf'

Just don't dump any lemon in it!

The 'r' is close to a scottish 'r', only a bit softer. 'G' as in Lo*ch* Ness.

Indeed! I forgot to mention, but the subtle taste should be carefully dealt with, it's not like a soda beverage! You must read the manual how to drink it properly (the kind of glass it should be served in, the temperature, how to pour it and so).

Well, tea tastes like pish if you expected it to be coffee.
