I tend to like hefes and ales usually. Bud tasted pretty skanky to me the last time I had it (drank a lot of Coors in college in Colorado).

I thought the same thing. Though I've heard of it as a gluten allergy, and it's generally prevalent in more than just beer. All the same, brewers all over the place are brewing gluten free beer. I never had any, but it's worth a shot for those having trouble.
Markel, you need to try the Tucher Hefeweizen I posted about. It's fantastic and not too pricey for 1.09 pints worth of beer.
whiskeypapa, I disagree. I consider PBR and Stag to be among the worst beer, and I will not drink it under any circumstances. I get a nasty headache from that crap. As far as "get it cold enough" that's what the japanese did to hide imperfections in Sake during WWII. As much as I love ice cold beer, I steer away from ones that don't hold their weight at 60 degrees F.
Nija, I have a newfound love for Coors. As cheap as it is, I find it to be the best of the cheap worlds and I'm loving it more as an average man's beer.
As far as the thread topic, I'm having a Tucher Kristall Weizen.

It tastes to me like a weird half-breed between a lager and a wheat beer. Light, but with a bit of wheat-weight behind it, I'm thinking Tucher might be a brand worth following after my love of the last Hefe I tried from them. There's a good aftertaste about 2-3 seconds after swallowing. That's what she said. Booyah.
