Handwritten notes: when I was in my early to mid twenties I would sometimes over-do the beer thing, usually with one or several of my brothers. Sometimes my old lady would try to join us, and she would have half a bottle of Arbor Mist (gross girly sparkling wine). That, being enough for a reasonable person, would be it for her, and she would go to bed. I would stay awake until my eyes forced themselves shut against my will. More times than I can remember I would stumble out in the middle of the night (or mid-morning, as it would be by then), open the fridge, and take a swing out of this leftover half-bottle of this Arbor Mist garbage, with all of the beer having been shotgunned or lost the previous night in a game of caps. That is what Leinie Berry tastes like. The sickening smack of beer on your lips, and the sickening pong of berry in your nose and throat. Prosit!

Yep, one of my few pour outs. An orgasm of syrup and sugar.

You obviosuly have no clue what you're talking about. Berry Weiss haas won numerous awards and for anyone who knows a fruit beer, they would agree it is one of the best ones...dumba**

I'm not really interested in the opinion of anyone who feels the need to asterisk out their profanity.
