    Festina Peche from Dogfish Head, Otra Vez from Sierra Nevada, and Tell-Tale Tart from Boulevard are nice; I find that slightly tart beers are very refreshing on a hot day.

    Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier. These are very refreshing, my favorite non-stout.

    You might wanna try something like Abita's Purple Haze... comes in six packs, refreshing wheat beer with added raspberries, a little sweet and a little tart.

    Definitely try this if you can get it. Super refreshing and tart.

    I would recommend festina peche if you would like to try something sour. I would definitely recommend great divide Colette, super refreshing and light and it comes in a can. Six point crisp is also a good option.

    SN Summerfest

    Cigar City Jai Alai... a little higher in ABV but you should be able to find that fresher than hell there...

    Avery liliko'i kepolo, Otra Vez & DFH festina peche i will second. I just got here to the panhandle thinking I would find a ton of Gose and Berliner Wiesse but that was not the case. After looking around I found the following
    • Six Point Jammer, great clean Gose 4.2%
    • River Town Brewery Nice Melons, a watermelon Berliner Wiesse, great watermelon flavor, think Sour Patch watermelon or Jolly Rancher 3.8%
    • Bells Oarsman, great straight up Berliner Wiesse, great clean tart lemon going on. 4%
    All of the above are great low abv beers that won't screw up your palate if you plan on drinking all day.

    AlliCaps before I make any more suggestions a question, if I may. How high is your hop tolerance level?

    Corona ain't a great summertime beer. Nope...

    New belgium snapshot is distributed widely and is a crisp wheat beer. Avery lilikoi is tasty as well, the passion fruit shines. Weihenstephaner original and hefeweiss are both nice after mowing the lawn. Pilsner urquell is my go to in the summer now that its in cans.

    Two great choices for poolside...Sunshine State Pils (ABV 5.0) and Emergency Drinking Beer (ABV 4.0) - Both are German pilseners that drink very smooth.

    Does 3 Floyds get to Florida? Gumballhead goes down like iced tea on a hot day. Otherwise you can't go wrong with either Sierra Nevada pilsner that's been mentioned. There's really no wrong answer when taking about drinking beer in 80 degree weather by a pool.

    Most people are really just listing what they like rather than trying to figure out what you would like. I think the question is: Why do you want something other than Corona if that's already a good fit? Are you looking for something similar or very different? If different, how so?
