Best american beer:

Widmer Hefeweizen

especially on tap, of course, but good in the bottle too.

And you don't have to like hefeweizens, I don't particularly myself, it doesn't taste like a typical hefeweizen at all, just happens to me made with wheat instead of barley.

A very flavorful but well balanced brew, both interesting and quaffable. Kicks butt on any other microbrew I've tasted (so many are too hoppy, and I like hops, or too syrupy sweet, or both).
