just tried it

Just tried this one.... Ok, it needs a week before it's ready but its delicious. Apple-y aroma and flavor, but just hints, not overwhelming. Typical Belgian Wit otherwise, a little hazy, not to bitter and light-ish mouth feel. The apple slices were pretty easy to get out of the carboy (and they had no apple flavor left in them). I thought it might be a nightmare, but a few flushes and they all came out. Will definitely make it again, probably with tweaks, who knows.
