...also, if your girlfriend doesn't like IPAs you could try Dogfish Head 60 or 90. The 60 is pretty tame compared to lots of IPAs and the 90 has a nice malt "backbone" to offset the bitterness of the hops. Both are good beers that are pretty easy to find and not super expensive. Personally, Double Dog from Flying Dog is still one of my favorites. Super hoppy and super malty with a nice heavy viscosity...yet, still very drinkable.
