Spices in Belgian white beer

The third cup was Belgian style white beer

Flavoring is enhanced by adding spices during the beer brewing process, which is an important feature of Belgian wheat beer, and the spices often added are coriander seeds and orange peel. In recent years, with the development of innovative craft beer, wineries will use more diverse spices when producing Belgian wheat beer, such as nutmeg, paradise seeds, lemongrass, etc., while Chinese brewers have tried to use tea, ginger, pepper, tangerine peel, pepper, pepper, fennel and so on.

The most important difference between Belgian wheat beer and German wheat beer is that Belgian wheat beer highlights the flavor of spices, while German wheat beer highlights the taste of ester aroma, especially the aroma of isoamyl acetate, that is, the taste of banana.

Personally think of the Belgian style wheat beer, the spices added should be coordinated, soft, there is a taste too prominent, the feeling is not good, the various spices added taste should be coordinated together, but also with the taste of the original wine coordinated together!

In the process of adding spices, there are various forms: some are added before the end of boiling, some are added in the swirl sedimentation tank, some are dried in the fermentation tank, some are directly added in the whole grain, some are added after crushing, different ways of joining, and later show different flavors, each forming its own characteristics, the dimension changes unchanged, this is the charm of craft beer, but also the real reason for the vigorous development of craft beer in recent years!
