Denny's Evil Concoctions

Recipes 

I've never made a fruit beer before. I recently made this: Spearmint

Now it's been in a bottle for about a week. Carbonation levels are normal for an ale but I am trying for about a 3.4 co2 level so it has a few more days to go yet.

Now, I know this beer is very young, but with traditional beers I'm a pretty good judge of how a young beer will likely taste once aged for a while.

With a fruit beer I'm clueless. Especially fruit with honey and spices. I don't seem to be tasting the malt, the flavoring hops are present and will likely mellow out. They taste a bit to "fresh" at the moment

What I guess I'd like to know is how does the flavor from the fruit and honey change as the beer ages?

Fruit flavors tend to get weaker as the ale ages. Honey can disappear completely. Mints tend to hang on.
