Belgian Wit has strong yeast taste
I brewed a Celis Wit beer clone from "Beer Captured" and after 6 weeks of bottle conditioning, it still has a strong yeast taste to it. I used wyeast Belgian Wit liquid yeast. I've heard that this yeast strain takes a little longer to condition to loose that yeast taste, but 6 weeks? Anyone else have this problem?

Belgian Wit's are supposed to have a significant amount of yeast flavor to them. As with most Belgians, it's a huge part of the style.
As for it being a clone, I haven't tried Celis in a long time, so I can't remember the amount of yeast flavor in it.
