This summer in Amsterdam, they put a lemon in each White we ordered, and gave us an ingenious plastic muddler. Now, I'm not one for fruit in my beer. I'll tolerate the orange as it gives me something to snack on, but as for a lemon? Sorry, I'll order a Mike's if I want a fruit flavored hooch, and trust me: I don't like hooch.
I think that fruit shoudl be allowed to ferment IN the beer, so as to add to the character, but not be added to it posthumously. If you put fruit in wine, you have Sangria which is delicious in it's own right, but it's not wine. If you order a brandy and they put fruit in it, you have an old-fashioned, not a brandy. So what should we call a beer with tasty bits of fruit in it? It's not fair to call it beer, since under Reinheingsjdihfihweirngwijjadgfoahdsfbot, beer can only have barley, water, yeast and hops. We need a new name for this new-fangled cocktail.
