Y'know, this might be another thread, but I really don't understand the whole "fruit in the beer" thing. It's to a point where whenever I order a beer, I have to specify "no fruit" because someone has decided that a pice of fruit, be it lemon, lime, orange or even a strawberry makes the beer better. I personally don't really like the way the sugars sweeten the beer. Now I understand that stuff like Corona *needs* something, because it helps mask an otherwise nasty taste. But when I order a nice handcrafted wheat beer, I find it upsetting to find a slice of orange defiling it. It's probably just me.

It's woth noting that I'm already kind of irked about this. Went out drinking with my cousin on Saturday and he asked for olives in his beer. Called it a "poor man's martini".
