    Now that it's going to get warmer here in the northeast after a bitter winter, I look forward to pale wheat ale's. Two come to mind:

    Revolver's Blood and Honey
    Modern Times Fortunate Island

    Fortunate Island is the perfect lawn mowing and golfing beer. Blood and honey is perfect for sitting in the back yard as the sun begins to settle.

    Does anyone else enjoy this style?

    Gumballhead and A Little Sumpin Sumpin are delicious.

    I need to explore this style a bit more, I've only had some of the more common ones. I love Sumpin', wasn't too blown away by Oberon, and loved 80 Acre (very glad boulevard is in NYC now).

    Toss-up between Fortunate Islands and 80 Acre. Maybe a slight lean towards Fortunate Islands.

    I'd love to try Gumballhead. Unfortunately, we don't have any Three Floyds beers here in NYC. Unless someone in NY can enlighten me??

    A Little Sumpin Sumpin is my preferred American Pale Wheat Ale.

    Southern Tier has a nice summer seasonal of Hop Sun.

    Cheers!

    My favor going into FI. Just because Citra is just a great all season hop.

    Oberon, Gumballhead, 80 Acre. One that i don't think I've seen mentioned Solace from Firestone was pretty decent. My buddy likes to drink 312 which isn't bad on a hot day. Never been a fan of sumpin sumpin but know lots of folks who love it.

    312 is very good. Sumpin is average at most...
