Watermelon Beer and other fruit beer - Fri, 06/22/12 9:56 PM

Just had a nice cold can of " 21st Amendment Brewery" Watermelon Wheat beer.
Called Hell or High Watermelon Beer.
Nice and refreshing.

Looks like Blue Hills Brewery has their own version.

I know they add fruit to Lambic in Belgium. Any one else had any fruit beer?

I brew beer and make a lemon lager that is really nice on a hot day!

I was surprised because it actually had a blue berry taste. I also had some apple beer the other evening at a Harley rally and concert. I also had some jalapeno beer in San Diego a while back. It was too hot. Paul E. Smith Knoxville, TN

A cherry hefeweizen and a basil. Maybe one other, I don't remember. The basil was really interesting. And the cherry had a distinctive taste.

Impossible to get makes people want it that much more. Such a tease...New Glarus.

America's little Switzerland! It's very pretty. A Cheese Castle close and miniature golf with live goats. Can't get that here either!

Any decent beer will have plenty of flavor notes to it without adding fruit juice.

I don't know...i told my favorite barman, Scott, "When, I drink, I drink. When I eat fruit salad. I eat fruit salad"

Sort of half/half British Lemonade and lager. The lemonade is more like the stuff you find in the soda aisle in the US and the beer..well I supoose it depends on your tastes

She made a baltic porter that took first in its category. Makes two years in a row for the porter! Now she's making mead, no telling what she'll concoct next.

Pigiron, what do you think of the lambics, the peche lambic, kriek lambic, etc?

I'm hesitant at some flavored beers, but some of them are pretty good. Not just the ones I mentioned but also some of the flavored wheat beers. I won't buy them in bulk without trying a single bottle first, but I'll give 'em a shot, y'know?
