    Lil' Sumpin Sumpin. Why have a wheat beer when you could have a wheat IPA? Proceed to defame my uninformed palate.

    Gumballhead -- drinks like a light, wheat-y IPA.
    Sumpin' Sumpin' -- ... drinks like an IPA. Still not really convinced it's a wheat beer.
    Oberon -- classic.

    My favorite wheat beer is a pilsner.

    I'm also a fan of the Sun Block. Since I'm really waspy, and there's no "tan setting" on me, I'll be sure to buy a few cases of it this summer. But seriously refreshing beer.

    Lil Sumpin Sumpin! One of my favorite beers period. Also, really enjoyed Gumballhead. Not so much on the 80 Acre or Boulevard Wheat

    We're just starting to see it in Chicago more: Greenbush (Sawyer, MI)'s Sunspot. It's unusual, but still drinkable. Citrus-y without venturing too far into wit land, and a dynamite, dry finish. Some say it's a hefeweizen, I dunno. You say 'porter,' I say 'stout.'
