White beer is a turbid, light-yellow type of beer, and ideal to enjoy on a hot day.
You shouldn't just pour it in your glass as that makes it too clear, which influences it's taste. Ideally, you should not be able to see more than let's say 1.5cm (half an inch) through it.
To get it turbid, first pour in about 3/4 of the bottle (preferrably without creating too much foam). Then shake the remaining quarter a bit, and pour it right in the middle of your glass to make it turbid and create the recommended 2 finger widths of foam
Er... my standard operating procedure for beer is to take the cap off the bottle and start drinking.

fie! how dare you!
Glasses are much better than bottles. If you want to just relax and drink a good beer, you really need a glass. And if you want to drink fast and get drunk, you need a glass too because you simply can't drink fast from a bottle.
...So I guess if you don't want to get drunk AND you don't want to enjoy the taste of your beer, a bottle would be okay

Seriously now, you shouldn't drink the better, more expensive beers from the bottle. If you really want to enjoy the taste you should take a glass (yes, you can taste the difference. Especially in the case of white beer)

I could not agree more. Beer from a glass is the way to go.

DarkFish, do you take Hoegaarden with a slice of lemon? I can never make up my mind!

Personally, never. I never put anything in my beer
Besides, Hoegaarden has already got a slightly lemony taste, so I can't really see the added value.

But yeah, it's something done very often, and I know there are lots of people who like it a lot that way. Just a matter of taste I guess
