Lambic is a Belgian brewing style that uses fruit in the process. Most common are cherry, peach and raspberry. The fruit taste is really strong and the beer is sweet. My wife likes them when I drag her to Monks, as she isn't a huge beer fan. The peach one tastes just like a peach and is a good substitute for a "fruity" drink.
Warsteiner (the beer in redlines fridge) is pretty tasty and is very popular in Germany. It is hard to find here in the states though. I believe Moriarty's in CC had it on tap a little bit ago. The most common Weizsen in Germany is Franziskaner. Another beer that is pretty good, but can be hard to find here.
Redline, you need to try to get yourself up to the Cologne area and pick up some Fruh Kolsch. It is seriously the best beer I have ever had. It's name means "local" Kolsch and can only be found around Cologne and Aachen.
Another great beer that will put you on your rear is Scaldis. The best way i could describe it is a light brandy. It's similar to a Sam Adam's Utopius, but not as punchy or expensive. Monk's and the Abbey in CC regularly stock it.
As for the ultra hoppy beers, they just aren't for me, way to bitter. It seems like every micro brewer in the US is trying to make the hoppiest beer on Earth.
