    Willoughby Hazy Days. This beer is an excelent summer beer and is almost more of a dry hopped pale. I'm not usually a fan of wheats but this is a great beer!

    Fortunate Islands is INCREDIBLE. I just had a Trillium Pier and personally Fortunate Islands to best it.

    Haha, cue the "how dare you!!!" remarks. lol.

    In all honesty, it actually is pretty decent. It has become one of my wife's favorites (she is just beginning to get into craft beer). I tried a couple sips of her's and it was pretty good.

    Lagunitas' A Little Sumpin' Sumpin' is really the standard by which to judge all hoppy wheats, but Boulevard 80 Acre is definitely one of my favorites, and I was surprised by how much I liked GL Sharpshooter. For drinkability purposes, I also like ST Hop Sun and Saranac Cloud Splitter

    I actually am sipping on one right now that I am trying for the first time.

    It is pretty darn good. Very quaffable and I think just the type of thing you are asking about.

    Check out Modern Times. Blazing World and Fortunate Island are both REALLY good.

    I haven't tried Little Sumpin' Sumpin, but I love all the Lagunitas beers that I've tried so it is probably pretty good stuff. Bloomington Brewing's 10 Speed is very good, but if there is a better hoppy wheat than 80 Acre I haven't tried it yet.

    Just tried this. Very respectable. I suspect most people won't be able to find it.

    Just had Boulevard 80 last night and really enjoyed it! Also had Breckinridge Ophelia the other night and that was refreshing as well!
