Pansy.

Lemon is for lemonade and iced tea.

and wheat beer.



Actually there are a few idiots who don't use lemon in their wheat beer,
but they have a tendency to vote for people like Billary.

The Lemon Conspiracy
This is one of those subjects that there's absolutely no gray area. The
lines have been drawn and the sides are clearly against each other in
the clouded world of wheat beers.

It's all about lemon, or no lemon.

On one side, we have beer drinkers that run in the same group as those
people who put salt on their $20 porterhouse steak before they even
taste it. A lemon in their wheat beer is a must. Even worse, some go too
far and request a slice of lemon in their Belgian White Ale! The Horror!
We are not telling you to take sides, but don't cry when your beer has
no head ... you can blame it on the lemon wedge and its acidity.

On the other side are people who appreciate beer straight up. They lust
after that unique yeast flavor that would otherwise be destroyed by a
sharp wedge of lemon.

Is there a right or wrong? Who knows? It's very subjective. So whatever
your fancy may be, wheat beers offer a broad range of characteristics as
the perfect summer brew, or a brew to enjoy all year round (no lemon
please). Skoal!
