I love all the Belgian beers very much, and I'd have to say my fav is probably Chimay blue. I also really like a local micro-brew called Epic Pale Ale, it's very hoppy and reminds me of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
I make a pretty decent Hoegaarden White clone. Mine has a bit more body, slightly higher alcohol content, but flavour-wise, it's pretty close. The key to that one is I ranch the yeast from a 4-pack of Hoegaarden White and use that; plus the bitter orange peel and coriander-seed spicing. It's a crowd pleaser.
