Crazy Coriander

Tap to rate

Weyermann's take on Belgian witbier, brewed with wheat malt, coriander seed and orange peel as the style demands. It pours pale and sunny under a compact, fine-pored head. The zesty orange peel underlines the spice of the coriander, and at 3.5 % ABV the beer is light enough for hot summer days. It is sold under the designation "alcoholic malt beverage" rather than as beer. The brewery's serving suggestion is unusual: with ice cream, ideally lemon sorbet.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Crazy Coriander

◎ Appearance

Pale golden-yellow under bright light, with excellent clarity and a luminous quality befitting its sunny character. The head is compact and fine-pored, holding with modest persistence and laying down a delicate, consistent lace on the glass. Carbonation is evident and lively throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with distinct orange peel character—both zest and subtle sweetness—supported by warm spice notes from the coriander seed. Underneath sits a soft, grainy Malz foundation typical of wheat malts, with only faint herbal hoppy undertones. The overall impression is refreshing and approachable, without aggressive or overpowering elements.

◐ Taste

The palate opens light and crisp, with the orange and coriander flavors immediately prominent and well-integrated rather than artificial-tasting. Sweetness is gentle and balanced by the 25 IBUs, which provide a dry, almost peppery bitterness that amplifies the citrus notes on the mid-palate. At 3.5% ABV, the body is delicate and the finish dries cleanly without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium, with the bitterness fading quickly into a lingering dry note. A faint, pleasant orange-skin dryness remains on the palate, inviting another sip.

Serve & Enjoy

How to get the most out of Crazy Coriander

Serve at 5–8°C
Refrigerate, then rest 2 min

Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.

Witbier glass
Recommended for this style

The tall, slender wheat beer glass holds the full 50cl pour and shows off the hazy golden colour. The wide mouth lets citrus and spice aromas drift upward freely.

Best consumed fresh. Citrus and spice notes fade after 3–4 months. Drink within 6 months of packaging.
