Judged the wheat & rye beers at QABC last weekend and organising a wheat beer commercial tasting for brew club tomorrow.
How forken good are wheat beers?
Share your favourite and a photo in your favourite wheat glass. I reckon Erdinger are about the sexiest wheat glasses there are.
Newstead Long Story recently made a big impression on me - a wheatwine aged in bourbon barrels
Not quite wheat but Roggenbock below in a wheat glass for reference. Drinking it while I post this.

Have made various Wheaties over the years but hard to beat a decent Belgian Witbier. Drinking my 'Sit on It' Wit as I type. Henry Winkler would have loved it.   |

Honestly a simple standard weizen for me does it as far as wheats go. Drinkable, refreshing, enough of interest to keep going. Except I've never brewed one that really did it for me the way wheat beers I've had elsewhere do.

Forken great.
They are my wife's favourite. Franziskaner Dunkel is her go to. So cloningthat was my first go on resuming brewing 2 years ago, havent had a complaint about any brewing purchases since.
This has inspired me to pour myself a half litre Dunkelweizen when I get home.

Bearing in mind that the OP mentions glasses & given my propensity to show them off, 2nd favourite Wheatie is American Wheat. Pic shows a Murrays Whale Ale Clone (52% Wheat -- 50/50 Malted/Torrified) in a Wheatie glass that commemorates a Soccer World Cup somewhere or other many years ago. Bribie might remember the cleaning up of a few Murrays at Newky that caused the original inspiration?   |

 This is my first AG Dunkelweizen. Isn't my best effort as I had really crap efficiency from not changing the gap so it didn't mill the wheat fine enough and had to add some DME to build it up. |

Love wheat. whea a 4% grapefruit hef that was super popular with my wife and all the other mums that were breastfeeding. Low enough alcohol that they could have one, but tasty enough that they knew it was beer. Recently brewed a beer with kolsch yeast and 40% wheat grain bill. Yum yum.

I have a matching pair pint and half pint. The half has been used a lot and the logo is now fading. Pint glass must weigh about a kilo empty! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I've only brewed one wheat. Got the recipe from byo.com/article/german-hefeweizen-style-profile/# and it turned out good I thought. I enjoyed the banana note but that seemed to disappear as we got through the bottles. The missus liked it, and now nosco has provided evidence it's good for our digestion so time for another go! Gall bladders are in short supply in my family....... This time it'll be put through the new kegmenter and then kegged as opposed to bottled. Do you think there'll be a noticeable difference? |

My next scheduled brew will be a dunkelweizen to be kegged for service at Bitter & Twisted Festival in the Old Maitland Gaol in early November.
Smakpak of WY3638 is ready to go in the fridge, and will be smacked early next week.
Love dunkelweizens.
