Weird flavor in this belgian wit

Weird flavor in this belgian wit

I brewed this begian wit and it tasted great racking into my secondary but wow it has a funky bitter taste after I tried it from my keg.  This is only my second beer that I have put in a keg.  I force carbed it on 5/6/2009.  I thought I would ask you guys to see what you think.

4.5 lbs. Dry Malted Wheat Extract
3   lbs. Light Dry Malt Extract

.5 lbs. Oats Flaked
.5 lbs. carapils
.5 lbs. flaked wheat

1.5 oz.    Hallertau (Whole, 3.8 %AA) boiled 60 min.
0.5 oz.    Hallertau (Whole, 3.8 %AA) boiled 15 min.

1 1/4 teaspoons coriander
1 oz. bitter orange peel

Yeast : WYeast 3944 Belgian Witbier or 3942

 

I'd give it a week or so more in the keg, my wits change about 3 or 4 times, and I know they do need some conditioning to mellow out the green flavors

 

That's kind of what I thought.  I will let it sit for a while longer before trying it again.  Thank god I've got a red ale in another keg to drink.  Thanks for the info.
