I had this beer at a microbrewery in Calgary. Here is the description, are there any beers with a wider distribution (I'm in Halifax, NS) that might be like it?
"An unfiltered wheat ale, this ale is unfiltered and therefore has retained much of its original flavour and goodness. It has a hazy, golden colour, is light bodied, contains 4.5% alcohol by volume and has the fresh, sharp flavour of wheat malt with a touch of citrus character."

Sounds like you've got your hands on a Belgian-style witbier. You can probably find Unibroue's Blanche de Chambly relatively easily, as they brew in Quebec. In a pinch, Hoegaarden (from Belgium, but owned by Interbrew) will do, and it's everywhere.
You might have just a standard German-style hefeweizen, which I wouldn't doubt you can get in bottles at a local beer shop if you have one. Plenty of German hefeweizens imported to North America, and the occasional brewpub or micro will brew it as well.
