Fruit beers! What can you say...Most people hate them or even believe they have no place in beers at all. I on the other hand believe fruit if well placed can even enhance a beer if done with the right fruit combination and recipe process. Slapping fruit into a beer just will not work (trust me I've tried) after many lessons and friends/family telling me to try again I now have a clear understanding of what will work and what fruit helps enhance my beers. Fruits such as cherries, kiwi's, strawberries and even bananas. What's also important is making sure you have a small/medium alcohol presence but is well balanced with the everything else.
