    died the flying dog white heat, it was a good beer, but wasn't very "wheat", it tasted to me more like a more classic belgian style, fruity ,ale

    I would say that mine is from Modern Times here in San Diego. It's Fortunate Islands. A great wheat beer. I never really liked the style before I had that one. It's not very 'wheat' tasting though. A bit hoppy, and has a very fruity aroma. Great brew.

    just tried river horse double wit, its a good beer to be sure, but i wasn't really getting the "high percentage of wheat" that beers of this category supposedly get, its pretty malty and fruity, quite like a belgian style ale, and in fact smell and tasted very much like north coast's prankster. but it was definitely good, and at 8.99 for a four pack not a bad buy.

    Boulevard Wheat. It has no gawd-awful banana flavors in it.

    I usually do not like wheat beers, but Weihenstephaner Hefe was a game changer for me. $3 can't go wrong.

    Gumballhead, while good, can't hold Cantillon's jock.

    Troegs Dreamweaver is pretty good. Underrated on this site.

    Weihenstephaner is my favorite by far.

    Interesting comment about people who are less picky beer drinkers loving wheat beers. What I find is that there's a high correlation between liking stouts, wheat beers and strong belgian ales. What do those have in common, flavorful beers that aren't too hoppy?
