Leinenkugel Berry Weiss

Brewed in: Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin

Type of beer: Fruit Beer

Available: Year-round

With Berry Weiss, Leinenkugel takes a different approach to brewing.  Yes, Berry Weiss is a beer, but it really isn't.

With a pink head, a fruity aroma and an even fruitier taste, it is obvious that this is the kind of beer you won't see many men ordering, unless, of course, they want their Man Card revoked.

No, this beer was pretty much made specifically for women.  This beer is for those who have champagne taste but are on a beer budget, literally.  Berry Weiss is even more bubbly than the average beer.

At $9.49 for a six-pack, the beer is more than affordable and it a nice option for those who want the taste of wine without the headache of drinking too much wine.

The bottle comes in Leinenkugel's traditional packaging, with a purple trim.

With the unique color of the beer as well as a flavor that appeals to women, it is surprising that Leinenkugel does not attempt to try to market the beer to women, especially during October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Perhaps Leinenkugel and Susan B. Komen could develop a partnership in the future.

While the fruity beer is something different and surpsingly good, I don't see myself drinking this beer outside the judgement free zone of my girlfriend's apartment. - Justin

I enjoyed the beer as a good alternative to wine. Plus, I was able to drink it faster than my boyfriend, always important. -Brigitte
