Nice history lesson, the kind one can remember.

IPA will never be confused with Budweiser, it is a beer with some
flavor to
it. If you get Sierra Nevada in Halifax check out their IPA, even a
little
more hops than the Canadian IPA I had.

One of the few things I liked about California was that most bars have
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on draft. If you like that, you'll also like
their wheat beer, it's very good.

I have never been a fan of Wheat or Whit Beers, they normally are too
"fruity" from the orange or lemon peels and the coriander used by most
brewers.

They are definitely better than a Bud Lite.

so-so wheat beer is just that, GOOD wheat beer, however, is a great
experience. Commercially, try Blue Moon, love the stuff. I too, hate it
when they use too much lemon or some such to mask the taste of a so-so
beer. But, give Sierra Nevada Wheat Beer a try, you'll be pleasantly
surprised. I liked it so well that after trying some, I found a cloned
recipe and made my first wheat beer. I didn't brew any wheat beer
before, because like you I didn't find them to be anything exceptional.
