A lot of beers that have fruit flavor are overly sweet. I prefer the ones that are sour like lambics and krieks.

Haven't heard of beer + syrup. The closest experience I've had is probably a shandy (lager + lemonade,) popular in Europe. An interesting combination, not one I'd drink very often. Another version is the "turbo shandy," which is beer + citrus-flavored alcohol drinks like Mike's Hard Lemonade or Smirnoff Ice.
Can't bring myself to do either of those. ![]()

I'm a sucker for all things raspberry, that's one of my favorites. A local microbrewery makes a chocolate raspberry stout around Valentine's Day, it's definitely a winner. Consequently my first homebrew was a chocolate raspberry stout, also a winner. |

Doesn't Warsteiner make fruit-flavored beers? It's Germany's Keystone, so I thought that was just another take on teenage European party swill - I had no idea this was a popular concept across the pond.
Seeing fruit-flavored import beer produced almost as much culture shock as when I walked into London pubs to see the bartenders handing $5 bottle after $5 bottle of Budweiser up and over the dozens of neglected taps ready to serve $5 pints of local ales. |

The Budweiser tastes much different than it does here, and is not bad actually in UK compared to here.

Thought this thread was going to be about maple syrup in beer. I made some homebrew a few years back substituting maple sap for water, wasn't great, but probably could be improved upon.
I really don't like the syrupy fruit beers, spanish peaks raspberry comes to mind. A hint of fruit is fine with me if it changes the color of the beer it is too much. |

Adding syrup and serving time comes out much different than brewed with syrup and beer is very light with a light fruit syrup makes for an easy drinking beer almost into the "beverage" more than booze.
