Gordon Beirsh all the way. It's the beer that I started with. Of course, I can't get now that I don't live in CA.

It's beer brewed with cherries, think light beer with a dash of grenedine

Cherry Wheat is great. Also try Pete's Strawberry Blonde.

They both have a fuity flavor for your feminine side.

Corona with lots of lime like 1/4-1/2 lime shoved in there. I've tasted it it's good (though I prefer a wedge as I like the taste of beer.

A Weiss with lemon

Black Butte. It's a Porterhouse.

Widmer Brothers Hefeweizen brewed in Portland, Oregon. It's a wheat beer. I drove by the brewery today. When I realized what I was driving by, I almost pissed my pants. :D

If you are in Illinois you might be able to get Sprecher Amber.

OR New Glarus Rasberry Tart, Cherry Tart <--not traditional beer, but very high quality lambics.

Anything light, preferably a Coors Light. (That's what I started off with - I couldn't down half a beer without feeling the need to hurl - Coors got me on the path to enlightenment)

I can't stand the taste of any beer.

I guess I can turn in my "Man" badge and join the girls club ;)

almost none of the stuff in here is remotely good.. theyre mostly cheap, super watered down beers.. thats why most ppl say beer is an acquired taste... because usually their first beer is some corona/heineken/corona/coors/millers

try Guiness draught (not the extra stout).. it has a dark, toffee/coffee flavor to it
Murphys Irish Stout is similar.. a bit more bitter, not as thick, but really good and easy to down
ST's andrew's ale is really good... creamy, thick, something about the hops give it a fruity taste
i got some Belhaven this week, it was also good

just stay away from the cheap, clear/yellow domestic piss water they sell for 3.99$ and you'll be good :D

Warsteiner
Spaten
Wuerzburger
Ceramic flip top bottled Grolsch(2 pack)

Any of these are pretty good but can still taste like skunk piss if they're too old or have had too many
heat cool cycles by the time they reach the shelves.

Becks and regular'ly bottled Grolsch consistently taste bad around here, but I have gotten
good samples in other parts of the country.

Appenzeller Hanfbl&uuml;te :) That's what I drank yesterday. Was kinda good. It's brewed with hemp but has no THC in it.

For a pleasant tasting easy to drink beer I would recommend the following:

Dos Equis
Corona
Hoegaarden

Personally I prefer something a bit heavier like a Belhaven ale or Black & Tan
