I found one I kinda like. Whilest we were traversing th great state of Iowa, coming back from Colorado, we stopped in Council Bluffs and ate at a surprisingly nice bistro called 712 Cafe. And while munching a nice pot roast melt sandwich, I decided to have a beer. And, since I was traveling with my wife Sue, I ordered a Pseudo Sue from Toppling Goliath Brewery in Decorah, Iowa. It was quite good. It’s a Pale Ale with citrus and grapefruit and mango juices. I liked it. And when I got home I found a local place, Bert on the Wsll, that stocks some.
So there !

Toppling Goliath makes some decent beers. Their Pseudo Sue isn’t a fruity beer at all. It’s an IPA brewed using Citra Hops. I buy it once in a while though I’m not drawn to IPAs or other hoppy beers. |

Toppling Goliath is highly regarded among beer geeks, wins all kinds of awards. Decorah is a lovely college town, worth a visit. |

I thought Decorah raised eagles?

I worry about Marshall. We may need to do an intervention.

With all the gender definition malarkey going on I'd be careful about bantering words like "Fruity" around carelessly.

I like mostly stouts, ambers and loggers, so thought I would hate fruity beers, but I have enjoyed all of the Stiegl Radlers: Grapefruit, rasberry and zitrone (lemon).

A neighbor, the State police officer, got me a couple cans of Fluster Cluck from one of the breweries here in Virginia for looking after his house and mail while the family was out of town (like he needs it with his patrol car parked in the driveway).
Looks to be fizzy alcoholic fruit punch. But it meets my major alcoholic beverage standard in that it was free. If I remember I'll fill y'all in on the details when I get round tuit.

Fruit need not be an additive.  |

The best IPAs are those made with citra and other fruity hops, especially the really hazy ones. Rounds off the bitterness nicely. Most definitely not a fruit beer, but most definitely very good. |

Beer purity laws here, similar to/based on germany's. So most of these thing that are being called fruity beers in this thread are not allowed to be called/sold as 'beer'. ('fruity' as in how the hops taste would be fine)
Add fruit syrup, citrus, perverse things like cardamom, and ...
Those ideas should be over in the Decline of Western Civilization thread.
