I'm a big fan of wheat beers. Blue Moon, Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, UFO has a good wheat ale, Shock Top all have good wheat beers.
As far as spicy, Sam Adams made a Red Stoney Ale that is almost like a wine. It is spicy, but not heat spicy, more like a cooking spice. It was odd, but not in a bad way. Not really anything to drink with a meal. Might could do a salad with it, but not much else.
Locally Avondale and Good People make good stuff. Riz, I'm with you on the hoppy stuff. Not a fan of the IPA's, bitter. It always tastes like grapefruit juice.
