DH is a homebrewer, so he's pretty particular about his beers. Don't know what the name is, but he gave 2 thumbs up to a Belgian Ale he tried @ Le Cellier. All I can remember is it had a flying canoe on the label.
For those looking for lighter beers, Hefe Weizens (wheat beers) are good choices as other posters have indicated, also India Pale Ales (IPAs) might be another option to look for.
