A style that is broad and diverse and which captures any beer (except for Fruit Lambics) with fruit added in the recipe or base style. The fruit flavors can be obtained via addition of real fruits, extracts, or syrups and artificial flavorings at multiple points in the brewing process. Fruit beers can theoretically be built off of just about any ale or lager style, although ales are most common (especially wheats, porters, and stouts). The fruit beer classification does not include beers with natural fruit flavors derived from yeasts, malts, or hops.
