Soft orange, not orange juice. Sweet orange peel gives a witbier its gentle citrus note alongside coriander, and does the same quiet job in a pale lager — no zester, no fuss.

What it does in your beer
Sweet orange peel is made for brewing: it brings a gentle citrus flavour and aroma rather than a big fruit hit. Belgian-style beers are its natural home — witbier especially, where it teams up with coriander — and it works in pale lagers and one-off experiments too.
