Gender Bender - Raspberry Wheat Wine

In light of current socio-political events, I've decided to brew a "Gender Confused" beer that has the balls of a man but identifies as a woman. Bold and strong, this wheat whine can kick your ass but is fruity and foofy enough to pee in the ladies room at Target. Oak aged for that hint of maturity, yet bold in its angry bitterness. Don't dare try and judge, as it falls into a category all its own.

Seriously people, get over yourselves. Cheers!
