I feel like a bit of a goof when I go out sometimes if I'm the only one with a girlie drink, even though I am a girl.
White beers are typically made with wheat (as opposed to barley) so that gives it a bit of a different taste. A lot of them also are made with various spices, which changes the taste even further.

Hoegaarden is the most popular white beer and a good place to start. Of the widely available beers, I find Leffe to be one of the better spiced ones. It's made with orange peel and coriander I believe it is.
