Generally I don’t care so much about the quality of my beers… any cheap beer works for me, as long as it doesn’t give me bitter beer face.  I’m fine drinking something as basic as Coors Light, Miller Light, or Bud Light.  When I feel like drinking something “classy”, maybe I’ll try a good pilsner or wheat beer.

This weekend though, I sampled one of the most interesting and memorable beers ever… Leinenkugel Sunset wheat beer.  What makes this so much more memorable than any other wheat beer I’ve had?  Well, it tastes just like Fruity Pebbles cereal.

Before you disregard this beer, hear me out… the Fruity Pebbles flavor is actually GOOD.  It’s a nice citrus undertone that goes really well with the yeasty flavor of the beer.  It’s essentially a substitute for the lemon slice that most bars would put in a wheat beer.

And let’s be clear, it’s not so overbearing that it produces a “girlie drink”.  It’s still a good masculine beer, the sort of thing you’d put down while washing a car or doing some yard work.

When I find a store that stocks this stuff, I’ll let you guys know.  It’s worth picking up a six-pack though.
