The Upper West Side is home to a long list of bars with taps of excellence, but sometimes you run out of money. When that happens, there's Whole Foods. With a beer selection rivaling many liquor stores and blowing the rest out of the water (not to mention their"fill your own Growler" section), the wholesale grocer allowed us to continue our journey. With our day saved, we found this guy and had a taste at our Master Brewer's apartment. Leinenkugel's "Sunset Wheat", although a year-round brew, says "Hi, I'm Spring" then smashes you in the face with a bag of fruit. You've got to like wheat and citirus to like this one, but if you do then go snag a pack because your all set for tonight. Definatley a wheat-lover's beer, this guy is pale as a horseman and has a not-so-suble fruity aftertaste. It can be overwhelming at times if your not in to coriander, and definatly cannot be mixed with stouts. Overall, though, I liked it enough to give it a 4 out of 5.

Website suggests serving it with cheese. I suggest serving it with 65 degree weather and the month of March.
