Freshly toasted coriander seeds are added to the grist and at the later stages of the boil, resulting in a festival of flavour and aroma. This delightful beer is a real thirst quencher, and is particularly good as an accompaniment to curry.

Bottle 50 cl. Pours a slightly hazy deep golden with a handsome and lacing white head. Slightly rustic and unclean fruity nose. Light body with very perfumy accents - almost like a bar of soap - from the coriander. Dry and bitter finish. Quite fresh. 231208

Cask @ Wenlock Arms with Magic Dave6 and Mes. Clear golden color with a thin white head. Grass hops and coriander aromas. The taste is very hoppy with lots of coriander which for me was very noticeable. Dry bitter finish.

Medium offwhite fine-laced head. Pale coppery body with light carbonation. Strange aroma of wet cardboard and sugary citric coriander. Taste is malty coriander with cardboard and orange notes. Some roastiness, too. The aftertaste is the same, and very long. Really disliked this combination. Drain-pour! Later I’ve come to suspect that the cider I drank before this may have messed with my palate. Need to rerate. (0.5l bottle, Centra, Oslo.)

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 3.8%. Clear deep golden to orange colour, decent white head. Interesting aroma of fresh coriander, spicy and herbal notes, some fruit too. The flavour has loads of fresh coriander, a slight fruitiness, hints of toffee, decent hops (and more coriander) in the finish and aftertaste. Not too sweet. An interesting beer with a moderate ABV, but probably not my choice for a whole "session".

Bottle. Slightly hazy palish amber with white head. Very floral hoppy aroma. light body and carbonation. Floral sweet delicate flavour gives way to elegant bitterness and coriander. Very pleasant and unusual.
