A Rant about Fruited Beers

This past friday we threw a party at our apartment. Nothing special, the usual ....beer, redbull, jager and wine mostly. As with all parties our fridge was left with a few stragglers. Today I was thirsty after a long day and against my better judgement I grabbed a Leinys berry wiess. Now I know what your thinking...and I was thinking it too...but I thought....It can't be that bad?

Its Worse!

Honestly I couldn't even swallow the first sip. It was like a spoonful of jelly mixed with a spritz of miller light. Seriously who the fuck drinks this stuff. I guess thats why there was 5 bottles of a six pack left. I promptly poured the rest of the bottle down the drain.

So my question is this....who the hell drinks all these juice/beer combos. Miller Chill, Leinies berry weiss and summer shandy to name a few. Is anyone over the age of 24 actually drinking this stuff or is it simply an attempt to latently market to kids?

I guess I shouldn't call the kettle black...I vividly remember drinking Zima with Jolly Ranchers roughly 15 years ago.

Amen

Damn straight man, you're preaching to the choir here. Though I will admit, Leinie's Sunset Wheat is actually pretty good, it has a slight hint of citrus, really hits the spot on a warm evening. Mmm.

Wheat beer with a bit of Citrus is OK

I'll drink a pyramid hefewiezen or a blue moon with an orange or lemon...but putting that same flavor directly in the beer before I open it....something about it is just wrong.

Icky

These kinds of beers remind me of wine coolers, just not as sweet. Blech! I haven't had that shit since, oh, the 80's?
