The last two times that I used Belgian candi sugar, I have had ale that tasted almost cider like. It did Not taste Like cider, but its the best adjective that I can think of. The first time, I made a wheat beer- and the LHBS did not have coriander or orange peel- but I went ahead anyway. When I had this taste- I assumed it was because I left two Key ingredients out. This time- I made a saison that is true to the recipe and still has this taste. Its not bad at all- infact its very geed beer- however- I am very surprised to have two different styles taste so similar. Yes, both the Saison (sp?) and the wheat beer called for coriander, orange peel and candi sugar- but the first time- I did not have two of the three ingredients just listed. Could those of you who know please tell me if what Im tasting is indeed from the candi sugar, or whatever else comes to mind
Ive read that an off flavor of beer at times can be a cidery taste- but I dont really think that this is what I am dealing with .I think.
