> Yes, that’s what I mean. All the “soap tasters” I personally know seem to be fine with coriander seed, and don’t taste soapiness in that, but Google suggests that there are some who do. The “hand lotion” description does sound like the description of a typical cilantro soap taster, though.

Like I said, I have no idea whatsoever if the thing that makes cilantro taste like soap is also in coriander but when I heard the Blue Moon = Lotion comment it made me wonder.  
I’d be curious about the other beers with coriander in them. It’s a pretty common ingredient. It could very well just be something about Blue Moon.  
Personally, overly hoppy beers (I won’t touch IPA/Pale Ales) taste like meat to me. I know that’s strange, but whenever I taste one the first thing that comes to mind is ‘meat’. No specific type of meat, it’s not even a meat flavor, but for some reason my brain makes that connection. I couldn’t even tell you if it’s cooked meat or raw meat that it reminds me of. Weird, I know.
