My mom just retired after 56yrs of work. She has been to hell and back the last few years (been on deaths door with necrosed intestines - rotten gut).

She and i used to be drinking buddies and she has lost her taste for beer :(

Just 2 days ago she told me she was craving "something new" in beer. I am totally excited. She likes blue moon, oberon, sam adams cherry wheat and peach drinks. I have made her wittbier and she likes it somewhat (this after her problems)

So I want to make and name a beer after her that she will like. I was thinking a wheat with a little bit of bitter up front but with a lot of fruit/sweet going down. Also with a lot of mouth feel. Something really easy drinking............... I took her to Frankenmuth, Michigan ( i am such a good son) and she had a little of their CowPath Pilsner - she loved it. I just want to get my drinking mom/buddy back.

I am new to my own recipes and this will be my 1st recipe. Please suggest
 
considering she likes sweet wheat beers, you can brew up a standard hefe, then secondary some cherry into it.

do you do extract or ag? if extract:

6 lbs wheat dme
wyeast 3068 or wlp 300

secondary with 3 lbs sweet cherries, or 1 can oregon fruit pitted sweet cherries.

this is a hb version of the sam adams cherry wheat
 
Maybe a Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat clone with a higher hop bitterness. I know they use a raspberry extract at Bottling to give it that "fruity pebbles" flavor.

Or check out Biermunchers recipes. he has a few that look simlar to what u want that im thinking of trying too.

Rack onto some blood oranges or use some blood orange extract at bottling to give it a sweet citrus flavor that would go well with the wheat.
