Firstly, the coriander and orange citrus notes serve as an extra seasoning for the dish. The beer's carbonation also helps refresh the palate between bites, whilst the mild acidity brightens up the mussels. If enjoying the dish with crusty bread the wheat notes in the beer also compliment this delightfully.

Hoegaarden
Hoegaarden has a cloudy appearance, but a smooth texture.
We consider Hoegaarden to be the world's finest wheat beer, with a unique recipe that is steeped in over 500 years of history, dating back to 1445. Prior to this new recipe, wheat beers were quite sour; that is, until the Hoegaarden monks started experimenting with orange peel and coriander from the colony Curaao: a divine discovery that led to the world-famous Hoegaarden recipe and unique citrus flavour.
