"Good beer" is quite subjective. Know what style she might like?

I think the best beer to get your SWMBO hooked on beer is a bavarian hefe. Simple recipe and a great beer with lots of bannana and clove if you ferment it right. My number one choice for a beer for a wife who doesn't really like beer (not mine she loves IIPAs) i would say a frambois with fruit.

Search for SWMBO Slayer. I'd link it, but I'm having issues with searching from work.
My wife loves Apfelwein, but she hasn't really liked any of the beers I've brewed so far. Then again, she doesn't like beer to begin with.

I just tasted Edwort's Robust Porter that kegged a month ago and it was amazingly smooth and swmbo even liked it.......she doesnt like beer usually.
This will get even better in several more weeks. If your swmbo can get past the darkness of the beer she may like it. Good luck.

Biermuncher has a recipe called "Cream of Three Crops". Apparently it is as close to BMC as you're going to get. Maybe give that a shot?

Take any mild beer and when bottling you last 6-8 put in some Blackberry or Raspberry extract you can get it at any HBS.
This will double your chances of hitting a home run
We over carb our Wheats and the extra head gives the beer a special smell/tast when using the flavored extracts .
PS Have not had good luck with the blueberry.
