10 Best Hefeweisen Beers

I love thick, dark beers.  Heavy Porters, thick rich Belgian quads, flavorful Stouts ... mmmmmm.  But for the life of me I have trouble choking down a thick, heavy beer on a thick, hot summer day.  Pale Ales, IPAs, Saisons, and the ever so refreshing German style Hefeweisens are my summertime choices.  These unfiltered wheat beers often carry citrus and/or banana flavors which work well to cool your dry dusty throat.  Here are Rate Beer's top 10 Hefewiesen beers as voted by their readers for you to try.
