What’s the deal with flavored beers? It seems like the biggest trend in recent brewing is the flavored beer. What’s a flavored beer, you say? It’s taking a nice honest brew like pale ale or wheat beer and adding a fruit (or other) flavor to it. I’ve tasted many styles and brands that have had fruit flavors added in during the brewing process. Some are really good, not overly sweet and still retain a great deal of their original flavors, but others are a cloying mess. I don’t like pouring a beer into my glass only to realize that it tastes more like blue raspberry gum than beer. I don’t need to be afraid that my tongue is going to turn neon blue after a pint.
