Fruit and spices can make beer vivid, memorable, and generous. They can also make it taste confused. The difference is usually not whether the added flavor is interesting by itself. It is whether the beer still behaves like beer after the addition. A raspberry sour should still have structure. A witbier with coriander and orange peel should still have wheat, yeast, foam, and finish. A winter ale with spice should not taste like sweet potpourri.
