    I agree on Anchor Summer Wheat (BA 3.5). To that I would add, Uinta Sum'r Summer Ale (BA 3.6), and Deschutes Twilight Summer Ale (BA 3.7). I wouldn't say any of these are terribly underrated, but I do think they deserve to be up in the very good category.

    Yuengling Summer Wheat is seriously good, and any traditional weizen lover should give it a try, especially at its price point.

    The wife is a big fan of Oberon, which I used to not get until I had a fresh ice cold can on a hot summer day this year. Now I get it.

    Boulevard Lemon Ginger Radler. A little sweet, a little tart, a little beery. Delicious.

    Anchor Summer is excellent. For local New England stuff I'd say Shipyard Summer is probably my favorite for the quick find shelf stuff. Also don't mind a Narragansett Dell's Shandy every now and then at a cookout

    Saint Arnold's Summer Pils has impressed me this summer. However, there are lots of summer beers that don't get the attention they deserve. Check out over 150 current summer beers at http://www.summerbeerreview.com.

    I really like Bissell Bros. Baby Genius. Plays like a session IPA.

    I'm a big fan of SN Summerfest. I grew up drinking Oberon so i associate it with warm weather, but ive been underwhelmed with it now that i can get it in CA. I brought a 6er of the Uinta Sumr to the golf course yesterday and it was great

    Another vote for Steigl Radler, Schofferhoeffer (spelling definitely incorrect) & Porch Rocker.

    I'll add Goose Summer Ale. Really cool hop character on that one.
