Before you use it
It carries genuine bitterness of its own, so heavy doses stack on top of the hops and can turn harsh. Long boiling drives off the aroma and leaves only the bitter fraction behind.
Description
Dried Curaçao orange peel, the authentic partner to coriander in a Belgian white. Contributes a dry, marmalade-like bitterness and orange aroma rather than sweetness.
