Belgian White is a wonderful mix of light citrus flavor mixed with traditional wheat tones. This brew shares the addition of Coriander and a Citrus peel in it's mix just like LCW. The combination of Citrus and Coriander is common in many craft beers today that add adjunct fruits. It just tastes good and people keep coming back for more. No complaints there.
