WITBIER | How to Brew the BEST End of Summer Beer | Grain to Glass | Brewing with Spices

In this video, I brew a classic Belgian-Style Witbier, or bier blanche with coriander, orange peel and cardamom. This turned out incredibly good, and is actually one of the oldest styles of beer which draws its heritage back to a time before hops were used for bittering beer, and spices and herbs were used instead. This beer was awesome, super creamy and with a lovely spice character of bright citrus, zesty coriander and an exciting cardamom flavor that bridged the gap between those two flavors. It had an interesting basil/rosemary note as well. I just wish it was a little paler.
