Witte Kop -- White Head --
Witbier • Partial Mash • 5 gal
Based on a well-known character in a famous Flemish novel. He was a devilish boy who added too many spices.... Just like this Belgian wheat beer that is extravant in the use of spices but provides a thirst quencher., wonderful beer for summer.
