Summer Citrus Wheat

[Dean]

is it still bitter, Pete? Did you add just the orange or did you also add corriander?  I have an orange wheat too that tastes weird ...I think it's the corriander but then again maybe it just needs more time to condition

same here, I'll bring some tomorrow

[Kyle]

coriander is one of those things that you can easily add too much of, and then there's no way of masking it except letting it age can sometimes help, but wheat beers are best fresh, so not an optimal situation.

oh it's not bad, just noticeable like with the hoegaarden. The orange isn't near as strong as I thought it would be ...I was hoping for a Rickard's White taste. It may yet ...I tasted it 3 or 4 days ago and it was watery and horrible, today it's drinkable ...next weekend it should be good

[Kyle]

since we are sharing beers with issues anyways, I'd contribute a 3.5 year old bottle-conditioned brew made by poly-amorous Pagans with unspecified non-traditional ingredients.... I'll go put it in the fridge    

I've been saving it for some reason, not really sure why.

(there will be pale ale on tap too)

Dean: how long was it in primary and what yeast was it?

[brew]

Mine is not as bitter as it was - seems to have mellowed on that front, but there is still something there... I did in fact add a couple of dashes of corriander, but you can't taste it...
