I'll second both of those.

Hefeweizen - is all I drank when stationed in Germany (West that is...) always served with lemon in it and most of the time a few grains of rice to keep it bubbling all the time.
Still good stuff.

Shiner Bock is awesome but no longer available up here in Idaho.... too bad.

I like Sam Adams light.... heavier than normal beer but lighter than a full Sam...

Also try this, not lemon though. Get a Pumpkin ale some raw sugar and pumpkin spice - mix sugar and spice together and coat glass rim like they do and then beer inside glass.

Great for fruu fruu party's and tasted DAMN good.





Not to mention the "coolness points" you earn mixing it .   ;D

Personally I'd rather be castrated with a rock than drink "Pumpkin Beer".
But that's just me, I don't like squash either.  ;D

Lots of really great beers out there waiting to be tested and tasted. 

If you want something a bit fruity and not bitter, try Leinenfeld Sunset Wheat.  It is a wheat-based beer with hints of blueberry.  Quite tasty.  Same company also makes a Shandy, a beer flavored with lemon.  But it's usually available just during the summer months. 

For something with a bit more flavor than most American beer, you might try Michelob Amber Bock.  It is a light brown beer, but not at all overwhelming or bitter.  You might find it meets your needs if you squeeze a bit of lemon into the glass.

Good luck dealing with the back pain.  It's never any fun.  I've had both hips replaced and my doc told me how much my life would change when the pain was finally gone.  It's like some great weight pressing you down and it impacts everything you do and even what you think--especially personal relationships.  He was right.  Once the pain is finally gone, it's almost a re-birth.  So much gets better so quickly.

You're in my prayers, my friend.

I can't help you pick out a beer because most of them weren't around when I drank beer, but I sympathise with anyone with a bad back. I just went to the doctor and told him it hurt worse than when I broke my ribs. His answer is to apply moist heat. WTH? He also told me to quit drinking but I'm self medicating because he won't give me anything. I'm taking lots of aspirin and drinking mixed drinks, and hoping my stomach doesn't start bleeding. I already get heartburn way to often. So yeah, I can relate.

There's a San Francisco micro brewery, Limp wrist Lager.
I don't know if it's citrus, but it's certainly "fruity" .  ;D

CR, Frank, I'd say "thank you more than you know", but you do know, so thank you..
I'm nursing my first Mic Amberbock right now, and it's better than the others I've tried so far.. A little bitter but a step up from Bud Light!!
I'd still like to see a touch of lemon in the mix, but not sure about adding a drop of this or that to get it there..
I think I saw that Leinenkugel label and kinda scoffed at it as trying too hard to come up with a name.. What you're describing sounds good!.. Saw the Shandy and despite it sounding like what I'm looking for, I passed over it because of the price. Again, I'll get it next time I get over there..
It really is funny though.. I quit drinking beer, or anything, as a matter of course, back in 91 or 92. I picked it up again in the form of red wine, (only Beaujolais, the rest of it gives me a headache) when the back began to be much less cooperative..

Bed time.. I'm still reading, guys.. I'll take any information you can offer..
Good night and God bless!..

I know I must be showing my age here but the last time I had Rolling Rock, it was made somewhere in New York State..
When did this change..  :( I know Stella bought Bud, and Coors can't buy a Senate seat, but Rolling Rock was kind of a tradition as a NY (State) beer, wasn't it??

I don't know if you can still find it anyplace, but one of the best beers I've had was  John Courage beer.  It is better out of a keg, but the bottles are good too.

I served it at several annual get-to-gethers with from 20 to 60 folks attending....  At each one, I found NONE of the beer drinkers wanted to go out and bring in their preferred beer...which almost always happens..   It seemed like every beer drinker liked it.  Not only that, but all of those who drank but didn't prefer beer did like it and drink it too.

Never heard anyone say they didn't like it.  Worst was that some, myself included, said the draft was better than the bottles.

I started calling it the Universal Beer.

If anyone can find it in the states, let me know...

Rolling Rock is made in Pennsylvania.  Genesee is made in New York.  Both have become sex in a canoe beer.

Not sure what "sex in a canoe beer" is, though I'm admittedly curious!.. ???
It reminds me of oyster fishermen all drinking Lord Calvert, because it doesn't roll around in the boat..
