Body: <p>White beer ("<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_beer#Witbier" rel="nofollow noreferrer">witbier</a>" in Dutch) is a typical Dutch/Belgian thing, from research I found that it's wheat bear with flavours. This question is about the coriander flavour used in those beers.</p>

Comments.Text: I ran a search over on [RateBeer.com](http://www.ratebeer.com/search.php) for 'coriander' and got quite a few results. Unfortunately, hefeweizen doesn't show up as a searchable style on their advanced search, but you can probably scan the list of coriander beers quickly.

Comments.Text: @AvnerShahar-Kashtan Hey, that's interesting. I can search for "German Hefeweizen" as a type (the "Beer Style" dropdown), but do not see where I can enter the term "coriander"? Is there any textbox where I can enter a term/tag?

  (Asked by: username_0 on 2014-03-29)
  
  White beer ("[witbier](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_beer#Witbier)" in Dutch) is a typical Dutch/Belgian thing, from research I found that it's wheat bear with flavours. This question is about the coriander flavour used in those beers.
  
  The question is about the wheat bear siblings of white beer: Hefeweizen. Are there any hefeweizen that also are coriander-flavoured? To add a more subjective bonus question: are any of those commercially available?
  
  I've tried [Googling](https://www.google.nl/search?q=hefeweizen%20coriander), this mainly seems to lead to brewing recipes or extremely localized experiments. I've *assumed* (perhaps incorrectly) most if not all German candidates would be bound by the [Reinheitsgebot](https://alcohol.stackexchange.com/a/431/412) and as such will not contain coriander. Finally, I've checked some Dutch beers (e.g. "Grolsch Weizen") marketed as "weizen" and the listed ingredients, but so far no dice.
