Fermented at 65F

The fun really began when I was very low on time and ended up with not enough volume. I had to rush to makeup a quick hopped wort with a similar specific gravity to top up my volume. It was tasting very good at bottling time so I cannot wait to pop one open for quality control. :D

Enjoying this brew now before my Steelers take the field, lots of coriander spicing as well as a touch of orange peel. Might get a slight bit of oxidization but that maybe due to the introduction of alternative wort to bump up the volume. Thanks for the brew :cheers:

This one checked all of the boxes for me. It disappeared very, very quickly. Love to have more.

Very drinkable (for a Belgian).

I liked this one. It grew on me as it warmed up a bit. Thanks for sharing!

Witbier is one of those styles that I have a hard time with. Something about the orange peel puts me off. Really enjoyed to bready malt in this, and the crisp and effervescent finish. Nice beer overall

A bit clearer than I'd expect from a witbier, a bit too much coriander for my preference - but as it warmed the peel was able to shine through in a way that brought it back into balance and made it pretty damn drinkable overall. I second the oxidation comment but its not enough to stop me from finishing the glass in any way (and I'm pretty picky these days about not finishing a beer if I think I could/should be drinking another beer instead). Overall I think a bit more finish hop character, a bit more peel, a bit less coriander... I don't mean to come off like I'm ragging on the beer here (as I said, perfectly drinkable) I just think you could be onto something really great here if you just worked on making it taste fresher with more hop and peel "zip" to it.

I thought it was a solid beer. I'm not a big witbier fan usually but I liked this.

Enjoyed this, nice wit. A bit forward on the coriander as previously mentioned but nothing over the top.
Thanks!
