Tried a hoegaarden belgian wheat today
not bad ... kinda sweet
seems to me wheat beers covera wide wide range.
almost never try 2 in a row that are similar

Gumballhead. No question. Well... Oberon is pretty darn good as well. But... Gumballhead.

Hard to say. Wheat beers of all sorts, as they are my favorite type of beer. Oberon is good, but I particularly enjoy New Belgium's Sunshine Wheat. JimH's Murican Wheat ale recipe is one I like to keep around all the time. And my RCE Wheatoberfest is fantastic.

i'm with philm00x "tough call" though i guess JimH's 'Murican Wheat gotta be one, if not the, best i've tasted.(so far)

Hands down the wheat beer at the local brewery The Blind Tiger is my favorite. Boulivard Wheat comes close though. I like American wheat style without any flavorings added to it.

Dream Weaver Wheat by Troegs.. and Gumball Head of course

It depends on what kind of wheat beer I'm in the mood for.

What makes it a wheat beer?
the amount of wheat?
the yeast?
a lot of beers have some wheat but wouldnt be considered a wheat beer

This is a good guide: Beer Style Guide, PDF

We always have a goodly selection of wheat beers on-hand, as it is my sweetheart's favorite style. One of my preferred is Allagash White. It is very traditional and true-to-style. It is just a little fruity, spicy, and refreshing.

A better question would be - what's your favorite style of wheat beers? There's a large variety of beer styles made with a high percentage of wheat, that taste nothing alike. You have banana/clove/bubblegum flavors of a Hefeweizen, spicy and citrusy Belgian Wit, and hoppy American Wheat, just to name a few. Each style has stellar examples that are oh so tasty.

I would have to go with Weihenstephaner Weissbier for the Hefe, my own Feelin' Blue Wit, and most certainly Gumballhead for American Wheat... mmm... Gumballhead...

Another vote for Weihenstephaner for the hefe. Paulaner's hefe is pretty darn good too...

Normally, I'm fond of most Hefeweizens, but this year I simply fell in love with Berlinerweiss!
