What kind of shit from Montana? A few years back I attended a conference in Whitefish and I visited Whitefish Brewing. I found the beers pretty decent iirc.
well, that's outside my incredibly limited experience with Montana beer...
heh, yeah it doesn't sound like something I'd like. Outside of Lambics I'm not a big fan of fruit beers - honey can be OK, but it's not my favorite adjunct. Glad to hear they were at least "not bad"
Ok, I just started sipping my second, of three, Penn Weizens. This stuff rules! Is there a better interpretation of a Bavarian style Wheat Beer in the US???

I don't mind lots of clove, it was the lack of other weizen flavors balancing it. I tend to like ones with fruitier or yeastier characters better than just plain old spice. Don't recall much of that in the Penn.
I like the hefes with more of a banana flavor versus clove. Dominion (VA - 5 min driving distance from me) switched recipes over the past 3 years and now it's too spicy (clove flavor in abundance). I had the Weeping Radish hefe this weekend at the Dominion Beerfest and it was pretty good.. I like it better than Widmier (no taste that strikes my fancy) and Shiner's hefe. My favorite is still Franziskaner.

Howdy, neighbor. There wasn't much for weizens at the Dominion fest this year. Last year there were a bunch--Victory had their Sunrise there, and I like that one. I was also hoping Brooklyn Weisse would be in, as it's now being bottled and I'd hoped that they'd be pushing it. Darn good one.
Dominion switched their summer wheat this year from a hefe to a witbier, so it's definitely going to be a lot spicier. And yeah, Widmer? The archetypical American Wheat. Boring as hell, nothing much in terms of banana, clove, yeast, or much of anything else.
Personally, I'll take Weihenstephaner Hefe myself, but Franziskaner's darn good stuff as well. Nothing's better in summer than a good hefe or killer pils. --
