I'm not fond of the Mothership. If I'm going to go with a wheat from New Belgium, Sunshine is where it's at.

I would have to disagree.

IMO, the best wheat beer you can get is Easy Street. Too bad they don't distribute to Iowa.

Mothership is ok, but Sunshine is better, IMO. Different styles, I guess. Wheat beers are generally the last things I try, though, since it's probably my least favorite style of ale, so I don't have a bunch of experience with many of them.

I had a GREAT wheat beer (ok, Pale Wheat Ale) the other day. Lagunitas "A Little Sumpin' Sumpin'".

Gumballhead from Three Floyds is also a really good wheat beer.

In other news, Hop Stoopid from Lagunitas is really very good, as is Jai Alai IPA from Cigar City brewing company in Tampa. Actually all of the beer I sampled from Cigar City was very good.

I had a cedar aged Jai Alai which was VERY good too. I've never had a cedar aged beer, and I think it really works well for IPAs.
