On the right you'll see the fruited portion of the beer. I fruited this beer at a rate of 2 pounds of aseptic fruit puree per gallon of Berliner. This is on the high end for fruiting a beer. Given the reasonably low flavor of the base beer I expect the fruit to dominate. I sampled the base beer that I had left to settle covered in aluminum in my moms fridge and it had a soft beer flavor and very little lactic acid. Dominated by fruit but hopefully with the lactic acid and brewer's yeast. I am hoping that the lactic acid bacteria can draw down the sweetness and add that lactic back bone.I hope that I'll have a winner of a fruit beer.
