Adding fruit to NB Cream Ale

Hey everyone,

I am about to brew Northern Brewer's Cream Ale extract kit and I would like to add some fruit to it. I'm just not sure yet on what kind of fruit to add! Does anyone have any good fruit combos or flavors that they could suggest to me? I have an ounce of bitter orange peel that I could add during the boil but I could also just save it for another beer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I brewed this today and added a can of pumpkin during the boil and a 1/2 tbsp. of pumpkin pie spice at the very end of the boil. Very easy kit to brew as well. Maybe try my pumpkin idea (no idea how well it will turn out) or maybe peaches?

 

I'm adding apricot flavoring (from BrewCraft) to a cream ale, but I also considered adding lemon or lime zest.

 

Never added fruit to beer as of yet - but i know people who throw a bunch of raspberries in their secondary - actually the beer Raspberry combo is not too bad.
