Watermelon Wit

Last year I brewed up a watermelon wheat beer which turned out great.  Being who I am, I cant leave well enough alone (well that plus I pumped my normal summer wit all over the basement floor), so decided to mix up the recipe a bit by taking my standard wit recipe and spiking it with watermelon.  The results are in and while it is a good beer and is refreshing it does not showcase the watermelon like the first batch did.

I brought this beer along on a camping trip I made recently and it was well recieved.  It was the first beer that was killed off.  However I did get some feedback saying that the spices took a bit away from the watermelon.  Its probably best to just highlight the watermelon by itself given the novelty of the ingredient.  I will probably not brew this beer again.
