This spice has a peppery zing to it, but also brings a balance of citrus notes and an earthy pine aroma. Typically used in Belgian-Style specialty and holiday beers. Crush lightly before using and add to the boil. Combine with Licorice Root and Sweet Orange Peel for a great Belgian Holiday beer.
Not as aggressive as black pepper but this gives a great peppery spice to Belgians and Saisons. I made a Delirium Tremens clone with Ginger, Coriander, and Paradise seed that was out of this world.
