I love a good German Hefe. Check out Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier. One of my favorites!

I love IPAs and Ales more than any thing else. That's why the Ipswitch Summer Ale tastes the best IMO it does not have that wheat beer taste.

IPA's and the assortment of summer brews (SA, SN..etc..)

Undoubtably Fin du Monde, I also like the harpoon UFO hefe

My vote goes to Sam Adams Summer Ale...

Wait all year for it!!!

kugie · 06-15-2010, 07:25 PM

right now it's harpoon IPA in the can

Scottw · 06-15-2010, 08:42 PM

I like the Old Speckled Hen English Ale. Good flavor, medium bodied and light on the alcohol content so you are not walking around like a sweaty wasted mess. Good stuff.

I'm a big fan of Bells Oberon, though this thread is giving me a nice list of ones to try.

Aren't they great! Reminds me a of Euro beer and does taste different (in a good way) from the bottled version. I had my first one last week and was impressed. Also, it forces me to pour it in a glass, where I would've just drank it from the bottle previously.

I tend to lean toward wheats in the summer. Sunshine wheat being one of them.

Lots of great Hefe's to be had.

That's funny I drink it from the can and pour it into a glass when its in teh bottle. Not all of the time mind you when the buzz gets big enough I just get lazy

Usually I enjoy Sierra Nevada Summerfest, but this year I have been drinking a lot of SN Old Chico Crystal Wheat!!!
Very refreshing on a warm day or night!!!

yourchoice · 06-16-2010, 10:14 PM

I like all kinds of beer, but will often reach for IPAs in the summer. Right now I have Dogfish Head 60 Minute and Smutteynose IPA in my fridge.

Samsquanch · 06-16-2010, 10:14 PM

I love IPA's and Pale Ales in the summer - really impressed with Redhook's new Big Ballard IPA.

If you love German Hefeweizens, give Franziskaner or Paulaner a shot! Those were my favorite while in Germany(well, of the ones that are available in the states at least)!

Sam's summer is a staple for me, but I also enjoy SeaDog or Wachusett Blueberry. Let the flaming begin!
