That beer is more specifically a witbier. Mmm Manneken Pis. WITH LEMON, to enhance the citrus flavor that's already in it

I know it's a witbier, I come from the country that brews Hoegaarden, r'member? But chucking lemon in it, that's the same as putting ice in whisky - everyone thinks that's the way it's supposed to be done, but it makes your drink taste like shit.

From other random articles on the web ....
Every hefe weizen I drank in Germany had a full slice of lemon dropped in after the pour.
Hefeweizen. When that beer caught on via the bartenders and waiters from other restaurants that drank at the Dublin Pub, adding lemonthereby enhancing the beers prominent citrus flavorbecame de rigueur.
I like lemon in my Hefe! Afterall its better then Lime in a Corona :zombie:

I wasn't talking to you Tobey...Guru called it a hefeweizen. I just don't get the hate of having lemon flavor in beer though. I guess you guys wouldn't like that beer straight, even.

Drinking Corona, with or without lime, should be a capital offense. As for Germans, they brew some decent beer, but they're by no means the authority. Adding fruit to beer is the faggot's way of drinking it

exactly.
and while some beers are brewed with citrus in it to give it the unique flavor, doesn't mean there should be a slice of fruit in it....
It's like ordering Kriek and crushing berries and cherries into it like some sort of cocktail. YUK. It's a beer goddammit!

Huh? We drink witbier straight over here, it's just that we consider it weak beer, more suitable for women or adolescents who want to get used to the taste. It's sweeter and more accessible, even without lemon. I don't get why people feel the need to add fruit to beer, it's like raping a nun
Old farts here in Belgium can't really take the taste of beer anymore, so they tend to order Kriek and ask for a spoon or two of strawberry syrup in it
That said, ordering Kriek as a man tends to get you ridiculed
Awww ^_^

Drinking anything distributed by Anheiser Bush should be a capital offense with the strictest death penalty!!
Unfortunately I cant get my favorite beer in the US anymore

Annhauser-Busch is now owned by InBev, the Belgian brewer giant that brews, amongst others, Stella, Hoegaarden and Leffe. So what you said no longer applies
Never drunk Caffrey's though. Amber's not really my thing. I prefer my beer the way I prefer my women: blonde.

The old buggers can't really taste very well anymore, so they need a sugar overdose to be able to taste anything

....btw, I really love to say to rednecks that I see drinking Budweiser that it's now owned by Belgians and every dollar the spend buying bud goes to the pocket of some CEO in Europa.

Its got a really nice Toffyesq (sp?) quality to it. I am a big stout guy actually and was very very surprised I liked this amber. Its not overly light like you would think.

Tell me about it. We were called imperialists, oppressors, and lepers just because one of our companies took over one of theirs. And honestly, anyone who likes Budweiser and doesn't think it could do with some change should be dragged out back and shot, then given a Budweiser enema.

Guru: have you tried Anderson Valley Boont Amber?
It's on my top 10 best beers.
It's awesome.
Also speaking of stouts: try The Great Divide Stout

Wait a second... that's BS.
Drinking corporate American beer is horrid,
but there are so many micro breweries here that are fantastic!
You're missing out if you think 'all American beer sucks'
It's far far from the truth, Guru!

That's too much of a compliment since it imples that American beer can actually have an impact. Drinking the big brands of American beer is more like taking a drink of ditch water and finding that it's the blandest ditch water you've ever had.
