Hello all!

I wanted to get your guys’ second opinion as my wort I brewed just two days ago has been fermenting off with a bang since I pitched but is a weird off white, cloudy color. It’s a Belgian Wit.

Does this look normal to you?
 
Looks good, just as it's supposed to be.

Let it be until it's done, about 1-2 weeks, then keg or bottle.
It may not get clear, remain hazy/cloudy, that's normal for Wits (and Hefes), part of their character.

FWIW, once you pitch yeast, wort becomes beer. You're fermenting beer.

RDWHAHB! :mug:
 
That beer is actively fermenting, so it's very cloudy with white yeast. It will definitely change color as it finishes up and it starts to clear. As the lizard said, it might not clear completely (it's not supposed to), but it won't look like lemon juice any more.
