Miktoxic --- whiskey or beer ?
-
naming a beer nowadays is like naming a band. you want to be creative and edgy.....or at least crass.

I've tried a few, but just do not enjoy fruit in beer.
My favorite beer is Old Leghumper Porter from Thirsty Dog Brewing Co.

Ditto- no arguing about tastes- as the Romans said about 2,000 years ago. If you like lemonade in your beer- more power to ya. My wife loves Summer Shandy, I don't. Pretty much a purist when it comes to beer- about my only .exception is lime in a Corona or Dos Equis at a Mexican restaurant.

I bought a six yesterday of Shock Top's Honey Bourbon Cask Wheat. Got half a bottle down before I had to give up on it. Thankfully the wife will make sure it doesn't go to waste. I like trying new stuff but damn it sucks when you get one you can't even force down.
I'm not a fan of the fruity Summer Shandy either. I tried it on tap at a Browns game last year and although I could at least forcefully drink that one down. Well, at $9 a cup, you'll find a way.
Can someone give me a good summer ale out there to try? I've had Sam Adams and Blue Moon summer wheat ale. They are ok, the SA one is fairly tasty, but looking for something else different... My problem too is being able to find it. There are a couple wine and beer shops near me that get better selections, but still are limited.

i brought the shandy, had a couple, turned them on to the girls and it was over. i went to bud cans in the cooler. something about that shandy, it tasted soooo much better on tap. you only tasted a hint of lemon in it, not like the bottle where it seems they stuffed a lemon into each one.

Taking notes here. Thanks Z and WSS.
BTW I love every single thing Sierra Nevada has produced. I was not aware they had a summer ale. I'm on the hunt now...
I've had Fatheads Headhunter...good stuff. But then I've not run into an IPA I didn't like either. I've also had the All Day IPA too, but not sure if it was Founders brand. It was as you describe, a "light IPA".

A nice ice cold Piels, drink it quick before it gets flat.

Since you mentioned Fatheads, l am also not into the fruity beer, but Fatheads Bumbleberry (blueberry) beer is the exception for me. Perfect for summer too. Crisp, refreshing, and about 4 other beer cliches.
-
I tried some raspberry beer the other day....can't recall the brand. It was way too bitter for my taste.

Ahh yes it is. I was talking about all day IPA and little something something and you said actually it's a Summer Ale. Just a misunderstanding. Summer ales or a little light for my remaining eight taste buds.

I'll take quality beer every time. I am a fan of the Great Lakes beers here in Cleveland. They make some tasty strong beers. Especially the Christmas Ale and the Conway's Irish Ale. Even their "stock" beer Dortmunder Gold is very good

I'll drink chillwave til the cows come home.
Lake Erie monster is also a great option.
