Another common trait with the Belgian Wit style is the use of Honey, Oatmeal, Sweet and Bitter Orange Peels and Ground Coriander in the kettle. The Honey provides a floral aroma that varies with each batch due to the changes in the honey from season to season. The Coriander and the Orange Peels give a spicy, citrusy flavor and aroma, The Oatmeal adds a silky smooth texture. It is gently hopped with Simcoe and Mt Hood hops to a bitterness of 16 IBUs.
