Drank my 1st 32 ounce bottle of Lemon Weiss
http://www.midwestsupplies.com/lemon-coriander-weiss.html
-left out the coriander
-based on the comments i added zest of two lemons after 7 days fermenting
-didn't use secondary
I'm not sure what to think of the taste. It's like a spicy, dull - low carbonation, slightly foul/rotten/hairspray taste?, not really lemon at all hard cider or something. Very weird. Never had anything like it. Was hoping for a shocktop lemon type taste but this one's not even close. 3 weeks in primary, 2 weeks in the bottle, 1 day in the fridge. The foam layer after pouring was about 2 millimeters so basically none there. Aroma not hoppy based on recipe and still though the smell seemed lackluster - this can't be how the finished product is supposed to taste. I don't know. Maybe lemon zest creates this flavor? Zero lemon taste.
Maybe it needs another week in the bottles? Thoughts?
