Shake Hands with Wheat

The first true wheat beer I've made, this one seems pretty good so far.
Another week in the bottle should mellow it out a bit. I wanted to experiment a bit,
so I added coriander and lemon zest to the secondary (no lemon seeds in my glass!).
The result is a quite tangy beer, but not over citrusy.
