ABV - 5.9%
BU:GU ratio - 9:55 = .16
.5 oz German chamomile
1.5 oz orange peel
.5 oz crushed Indian coriander seed
Belgian Wits are supposed to be light, refreshing ales with a much lower ABV than this one. The high use of wheat and light pilsener malt make it white in color. Compare this to Hoegaarden or Blue Moon (hopefully better than Blue Moon). The coriander is the first thing to hit you (peppery), but belgian yeast can give off a peppery flavor as well. They may be working in tandem. The chamomile and orange are there if you concentrate hard enough. I think this came out pretty good. Will drop the coriander a little next time and amp up the orange.
