Another flip-flop on fruit beers
I am repositioning my previously changed position on fruit beers. Hey, politicians do it.
Cutting to the chase, my new favorite fruit beer, recommended by many contributors to this site, is Pyramid Apricot Weizen.
This wheat ale does a solid job of delivering refreshing beer flavors with an apricot presence. I now prefer it to the Dogfish Aprihop, which was my favorite fruit beer last week. Okay, I admit I am a serial fruit beer lover.
Another reason for my current infatuation: the Pyramid comes in a six-pack. The Dogfish was a four-pack. The distributor of the Pyramid is Dops. I found it for about $8 a six-pack at the Wine Source.
Anyone else have this problem of flip flopping on favorite fruit beers?
Anyone try the new, organic Oxford Raspberry? Looks like there is fruit in our beer-drinking future.
Comments
I love most fruit beers. These may not fall in your category, but I am a big fan of Ace Pear Cider, and of Lindemann's Framboise (strawberry or raspberry that barely is a beer). I also enjoy Thirsty Dog (OK, OK, "Dog Pub") in Federal Hill for their peach and blueberry varieties.

Fruit + beer = beer cooler = ugh! At least to my traditional Bavarian palate.

Reinheitsgebot! Reinheitsgebot! Reinheitsgebot! No fruit in beer.
