    I love Three Floyds Gumballhead and Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin' and a local brewery where I live makes 10 Speed Hoppy Wheat (Bloomington Brewing) and I was trying to find others that taste similar. I don't like wheat beers, but love them hopped up. Does anyone have suggestions?

    Trillium Pale Wheat Ale.

    That shit is awesome. Definitely trade for that if you can.

    I really love Boulevard 80 Acre Hoppy Wheat. Little Sumpin' Sumpin' is one of my favorites as well.

    If you can trade for Trillium Pier, you won't regret it.

    A go-to of mine is Schlafly's Yakima Wheat. Little bit of hop bite in a solid wheat, great for an afternoon outside, and cans!

    Fortunate Islands from Modern Times. They only distribute in SoCal and the Bay Area right now, but it fits the style that you're looking for and is damn tasty. If you ever do a trade with someone out here, ask them to toss a few in for you.

    Agree with the above, Fortunate Islands is awesome. The best of the style I've had an low ABV as well. Of course, Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin' and Little Sumpin' Extra and Wild are also awesome.

    New Glarus Hopster, if you can get your hands on it when in season.

    Russell White Rabbit from Vancouver is unreal, it has a perfect hop balance for the hefe and they used the right hops which make it a delicious wheat IPA

    Little Sumpin' Extra is probably my favorite. Seasonal, though. Seek it out now if you can.
