Picked up some Franziskaner yesterday. I've always been one to say, "I'm not really a wheat beer fan, but...."

So, I'm confessing: I like wheat beer. Not that Sam Adams Cherry Wheat crap, nor really the Harpoon UFO (although, not bad). But hefe-weizen done well is a real pleasure. Franziskaner, Paulaner, Widmer, in alphabetical order. I even prefer it with a lemon slice, because it tastes good that way. In the summertime too, to complete the cliche.

That's the other thing, I'm trying to purchase beer seasonally. No so many strong ales in the summer, not so many lagers in the winter.

Generally I agree that fruit should not be place in beer (Boston Beer Works Blueberry Ale, anyone?) but if the flavors are right, why not?
