Wheat Beer

Weiss - Wheat, Bier - Beer

Wheat beer is a beer that is brewed with a significant proportion of malted wheat. It is common for wheat beers to also contain malted barley. The addition of wheat lends wheat beers a light flavour and pale colour. Wheat beers are usually top-fermented (in Germany they have to be by law). Wheat beer is distinguished by its creamy texture and sweet flavor, which is said to have overtones of banana and clove.

this great store just opend up in Glendale, AZ called BevMO, guess there are quite a few in California and spreading across the US. Well they have an awesome beer selection, as well as wine apparently according to me girlfriend. But recently got a crop of new wheat beers to try out and they are all pretty good and I think they shoudl al be worth a test, but I will rank them from my favorite to the least:
1.) Leinenkugel's - Sunshine Wheat
2.) Avery - White Rascal Belgium Style Wheal Ale
3.) Franziskaner Weissbier - Hefe-Wiessbier

Again all are good, just that Leinenkugel one I can not seem to describe and love it.

Have not updated but have tried a two new ones in the past two weeks:
Fat Tire: Mothership Wit - 3 out of 5
Hoegaarden Witbier - 4 out of 5
both definitely worth a try, the Hoegaarden I had to get at an import store.
