skittlebrau...could you *do* it?

Anyone ever try to do skittlebrau as more than just a joke?

I'd say at least one person has. Life isn't always skittles and beer, you know.

I definitely made skittlebrau in college. It makes the beer your drinking just a tad bit sweeter/ citrusy. But, a skittle will cause much the same cascading foam as a mento in diet coke. Be warned.

Yes but that guy refered to Lowenbrau simply as "dark beer" and used the term "bitter beer taste"... You really going to listen to him

Not skittlebrau, but a couple of weeks ago I used a powdered orange flavored electrolyte replacement mix instead of zest in a Weizen. I’ll blame it on oxygen deprivation. The idea came to mind during a long run. About 12 miles into it, I took a sip of my energy drink and though, "I can make beer out of this!"

I'd like that in a pale ale actually. My concern would be the dye. I.e., is the *flavor* of the skittle in the skittle itself or on the surface? I'd really like to wash the dye off.

No, but I've had Jolly Rancher mead.
