Wit Bier

You will notice that this beer is very close to the Hefe-wit-wiezen I brewed not too long ago.  Well there is a good reason for this.... We drank the whole keg in 1 sitting!  It was excellent so it's time to brew another.  Only slight modifications to the original recipe.  Opted for a belgian yeast strain, Forbidden Fruit, and increased the grain bill for a bit more strength and body.
