As far as what I like, I'm a big fan of wheat ales. I'm also a big fan of fruity (no homo) beers. For the past 6 months or so, I generally always get either 312, Shock Top or Leinie's Sunset Wheat when I go to the store for a 12 pack. I'm also starting to like pale ales a bit. And of course, I'll drink any American style lager. I don't mind a slighter darker beer like Killian's either, but I have a hard time getting something like a Guinness down. I've had some good ones, it's just a bit too heavy for my taste. I'm also open to trying different IPAs, but the ones that I've had so far have been very hoppy, and it would be nice to stay on the lighter side with those.
Anyway, if you could offer any insight on what I might like, feel free to shout it out.[/QUOTE]
I don't drink lagers much anymore, but Great Lake's Dortmunder Gold and Elliot Ness are really good.
As for Pale Ales, Sierra Nevada makes one of the best imo, and Stone's is great too.
If you want a "lighter" IPA, Sierra Nevada's Torpedo is probably the least hoppy of those I've tried. Great Lake's Burning River might work for you too. It's actually a very hoppy APA, but still falls just below most IPAs. If you're like a lot of us though, you may find yourself slowly gravitating toward hoppier brews as time goes on. My favorite DIPAs are seasonals, but if you want some good ones year-round, Stone's Ruination and Dogfish Head's 90 Minute are great choices.
