Flavors/feel when Coriander added?

Ok, I only found 6 returns from my search and none discussed the flavor or feel when Coriander is added.

So what does it add to a brew?

I'm modifying a recipe that I have brewed before and just modified by adding 2 oz of orange zest. So now I'm adding 1 oz Coriander powder (got it at the store for $0.98!!) to see what it might add to the party as the latest addition of orange zest has truely brought some depth, fruity and sweetness to my M&J but it's still not quite there.

So if you add Coriander to your recipe's how does it change your brew?

Cheers and thanks in advance.

the coriander has a orange-drink smell/taste that helps round out the orange flavors.

I have only used coriander in conjunction with orange peel. So on its own I am not completely sure.

I just crushed some coriander and it smells lemony...citrusy...

Take an easy hand with the coriander. 1oz powdered will be far too much unless you *really* like coriander. I use .75oz of whole coriander in a wit- I lightly crush it and add it to the last 5m of the boil. The coriander flavor is noticeable in the finished beer, but not overpowering.

The Celis White recipe I followed used only 1/4 oz.

It's the same as adding it to food, it's a spice, so it imparts a certain flavor to the beer/food. It along with the pepperyness of grains of paradise and citrus from the orange peel is a pleasant taste/smell combination it Belgian Wits.

But it doesn't do anything to the "feel" of the beer.
