iam not sure, i always thought putting extra fruit in beer was a girly thing

If your brew needs a condiment to taste better you're not drinking good beer.

Its kinda funny but you just add it to your beer but you don't need to get any juice out of it. It seems to add a nice tang to a wheat beer. I liked it so much I had to learn how to ask for it in German. It might have been a Bavarian thing.

A good German wheat beer taste even better. German law only lets beer have 4 ingredients and its not pasteurized so it has a short shelf life. Way better then any of the shit we brew.

It was only put in wheat beers. Maybe it was more of the town I was stationed in which was Augsburg. Just a little west of Munich and east of Ulm. It did seem to add a certain tang that I likes in my wheat beer. I also liked to swirl it to get the bits off the bottom. A good beer would be a little cloudy.
