I didnt like wheat beers. I have gagged down Hacker Schporr a few times was thoroughly disgusted. Thats what i thought Anything with wheat tasted like. Since then I have drank my weight in beers other than wheats several times over.
But one day I get a 6 pack of purple haze. I loved it. then I notice after the fact thats its a wheat.
Then I get that new michelob wheat ( not the shocktop but dont remember what) And it was great.

I wanna make a batch,,but dont know what I'm lookin at. Are these both Witbeers? or fruitbeers? something else?

Any suggestions as to recipies that kinda follows along these lines.
 
purple haze is a rasberry wheat beer, and I am not sure about the mich but I bet you are looking at a white ale with orange and corriander.
